I've been using a Lenovo W500 series for this year and it's fantastic for what you need in college. Handles CAD and games without a hitch, pretty durable, and generally just does a lot of things well. The trackpad sucks, but there's the IBM "nub" to make up for it.

They really need a better team of industrial designers.

You can disable the noise somehow. I forget how I did it, some guy at my college radio station did it for me. You can also switch Fn and Control around.
