I'm a CS major, so it would be nice to find one with more than 4 GB RAM. In addition to web browsing, I'll be using IDEs like Eclipse and Netbeans. I'd like to stay away from i3 CPUs and any by AMD.
Also, I might wipe it and install Linux or launch Linux from VirtualBox.
I have a desktop that, depending on how powerful the laptop is, I may or may not take to my dorm room.
I want to again emphasize that it must be able to run IDE's quickly. The Android plugin for Eclipse seems to be a memory hog.
