Hello, this fall am going to be a freshman in collage i was looking to buy laptop, i have almost no knowledge how to pick a decent computer.

I have built this computer from hp website, i would like to get some advice from people who have more experience in this area than i do, to help me make the right choice. Also if any one would like to suggest if i need to add or remove something that i need or don’t need please do so. IF there are any better deals out there please share. As for many students out there i have a tight budget.
