Here's my situation!

I am a college student looking to spend around $700 to $900 dollars. I would like to have this laptop to last for a good 5 to 7 years.

Any recommendations?

DO NOT BUY DELL.
When you do decide what to buy make sure you buy an extended warranty. When they make laptops they will have parts to make 2000 of them. Then a year down the road it breaks the parts will be hard to find. I bought a laptop fours ago took out a four year extended warranty it has been replaced three times parts were not available to fix it when it broke. When my son went to college last year a bought a new computer foe him and a four year warranty. When he came home for the summer a couple of keys were sticking. Also the wireless was in and out. I would put his computer next to mine his would drop signal and mine stay hooked up. Two weeks before school started I bought back to the school bookstore told them what was going on. They put in a new keyboard and put in a new wireless card NO CHARGE.
