No comment on where or how you should get the computer…but I wanted to say great things about checking out if your school offers a tech support and repair sites on campus. My kiddo has had her university’s version of the Geek Squad fix her computer and phone a few times over the last three years, and they’ve been incredibly helpful. (She did not purchase her comp or phone from them) Everything from fixing software issues to replacing a battery, to diagnosing a phone dropping issue (and fixing it!), to replacing a bad charger. Her “tech guys” also offer loaner laptops through the school (so does the library). I think the comprehensive service is something like $25 a year, and a lot of stuff they’ll do for free. If your school has something like this, I highly recommend checking it out.
