a laptop that will last longer i.e. for 4 years, looks do not matter for me, budget will be a huge consideration

Then get a 'PC' type of laptop - Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc. They're pretty inexpensive nowadays. Get one with a DVD player if you want to be able to watch movies.
Some of the manufacturers, like Dell for example, offer a 4 year damage warranty so if you drop it, spill liquid on it, etc. they'll fix it. This is worth considering for a college dorm environment.
