Need new laptop for college

[Kristofer_2]

I am headed off to college this fall, as a pre-med major... needless to say, I think I need a new laptop... the only issue? I don't know where the funds are going to come from... I need something cheap but relatively fast (for taking notes and such, can't be waiting ages for that). I would much prefer windows over anything else.

Pretty much the best you're going to get at this price point. Either this, or:

Do you have any idea of how much you want to spend? Also keep in mind there will be tons of changes between now and the end of summer.
