I'm looking for a laptop to use for university studies. I will most likely major in some form of Engineering. Minimum specs for my university are:
2.0GHz CPU
512MB RAM
Newest Microsoft Office
Windows OS - Vista preferred, XP accepted.
I don't know everything about computers, but I know enough to think that those specs will not last for more than a year at that level of study. Which computers would be best suited to last 3 years (I doubt that's possible but it would be nice) for an Engineering major? If it's possible a computer on the less expensive (<$1200 before any warranties) side would be nice.
