If you're on a budget, buy refurbished! While you may disregard this idea at first, refurbished laptops actually work very well and come with a free warranty. I am also a student purchasing a laptop soon, and will definitely be going refurbished.

HP has some great deals on laptops, just google "HP refurbished". My mother purchased one and it has worked like new for months now at 1/2 the price.
