    This September I'm hoping to start college in NUIG. I've been looking at a few laptops but I'm so confused for which one to get. Some advice would be really appreciated for what would be best for college work and just for me to have for my own stuff too. I was hoping for somethin like
    -13.3 inches (ultrabook)
    -intel pentiumD/core2duo/coreI5/I7 etc.
    -decent battery life
    -atleast 150gb drive space
    -atleast 1.5gb ddr3 ram
    -atleast 250mb dedicated video ram
    -cd drive if possible
    i would pay up to €500 for it

    Sounds like you want to do some light gaming. As the poster above indicates, an AMD powered laptop might be the way to go, something like this:

    although it is a little over budget.

    This Acer won't be as good for gaming, but has an Intel i5 processor and is almost bang on budget:
