Buying a Laptop

<p>Okay…so there might be a number of these, but I’m kind of lazy right now. I’m going to college next year, and my dad got this catalogue from Dell and he told me to look through it, since I’ll be needing a laptop for college. So I said olay and started to look through it, and the instant I opened it, I was lost. I had no idea what they were talking about, the only thing that I know is about the amount of memory…but then they were talking about different types of memory and all these different numbers all over the page, and I just got tired of looking at it and trashed it. So can someone here please tell me what’s important to have in a laptop, and what amount…or a good range or something? Please…:o.</p>
