My sister is also heading to college and she would like to know what is a good laptop that can she can buy. She doesn't play games or anything, just standard browsing.
A $200 laptop that goes on sale during black friday or a cheap netbook. Saved you $800. Since she isn't doing anything by the sound of it that would require a better cpu/gpu/ram then the cheapest is sufficient.
Really depends on what school work she will be doing.
As for you just refer to the picture. It's a good guide on building a computer.
