    Hey guys

    Im looking to buy myself a cheapish laptop for college next year. I will be mainly using this to do my assignments and watching movies and listening to music.

    I would like something with a 15" screen and good sound and maybe a 500gb harddrive but 320gb will probably be enough. I really do need something with a pretty good battery life though as well 4-5 hours at least preferably

    after that I don't really know too much about processors RAM and other technical stuff.

    any advice would really be appreciated

    thanks guys :)
