What laptop for college student

Do not get alienware. It's some Chinese shit (had the m15x, in like a month the case cracked open, had overheating issues etc.) Sold it asap to a friend and was glad that was over. Seriously make your own, it's not that hard. If you're looking for moderate power go with an Intel atom n270 / n280 or even n330. The lcd panel + controller should be like $300 for 1920*1200 on 15", more if you want a led backlight. Graphics should be integrated (GMA 950 with the atom), don't push the ram and go for a lower end ssd. Total build should have like 6+ hours battery and decent power for college so go for it.

My friend had alienware and had the overheating problem too, I thought it was just him but maybe there is something wrong with the brand...

The overheating wasn't the worst part, the case actually cracked open. I could see the mobo and cooling copper plates.
