Only thing is to watch what type of configuration your paying for. For college don’t think I would pay for a 4 k screen or touch screen. Dell as suggested but they tend to be pricey and the 15 inch slightly heavy. Go pick them up and see. Costco actually has a nice assortment if one by you but again watch their configurations.

Honestly whatever laptop you have currently would most likely work for now. A lot of schools you are hooking up and running off their servers so like anything will work. Once you know you need something better then buy that for future use. But if buying new think I5/I7 16 g ram (you can get buy with 8 but will lag with some program) storage is up to you but Having an ssd drive is great. Some come with one some come with regular hard drives and an ssd to load things faster like your main programs. Touch screen are cute but expensive to replace. Stay with a fast processor but most computers off the shelf are decently matched.

Look at the Msi recommended before for comparison of the insides and what it comes with as an example. All parts are premium parts and it is on a good sale. This will at least give you a clue on configurations. Compare to the other computers you are looking at. This will start to make sense as you go along.
