    My brother and I are starting college this year and we both need laptops.
    He'll (probably) be studying either nursing or law and I'll be doing business.

    They would mainly be used for note taking, essays, assignments, normal surfing, streaming etc. We wouldn't be doing any hardcore gaming/editing:

    -It obviously needs to be compact and reasonably light as I'd be cycling to and from college each day.
    -Good battery life (preferably 3-4+ hours)
    -Good loading speed for streaming, Youtube videos and whatnot
    -Decent quality screen, I'm not expected HD for my budget but something I can watch DVDs/stream on in reasonable quality is preferable.
    -Decent speakers ^ as above
    -A good quality webcam would be preferable again but not necessary.
    -And of course a good enough memory storage so I don't need to be bringing USBs everywhere.

    I'm sorry for all of the 'I want', 'I want' but my knowledge on laptops isn't that great and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the choice online.
