well if you don't plan on doing any serious gaming then just go with dell or toshiba but if you want to do some gaming I believe you can go to cyberpowerpc.com and I believe they have some decent lower end gaming computer's for your price that way you got a good college computer and something for gaming.

I love my Fujitsu. If you can get something through Costco, I you get a really nice warranty. I just have the cheapest model, but they have various others you can pick from.
