What kind of degree are you pursuing? I'm an ECE and went through college a while ago with a convertible laptop (the screen turned around and flipped over to become a tablet). These days days they're marketed as 2-in-1 laptops.

I took all my notes on that thing, did all my homework/projects/labs, etc. It was great to be 100% digital.

As far as laptops go, I'll echo buying used. You can find 2-4 year old off leanse enterprise laptops all day for under $500 on places like eBay. Enterprise laptops tend to be well built and are usually, but not always, upgradeable in terms of storage/memory. Budget laptops, even from name brands, aren't always as durable.
