If it's just for college work - then I would get a Dell mini 10v ($299) - super portable to take to class... Then look into getting a 22" (or bigger) monitor + usb keyboard and mouse for when you have a more serious projects etc to do.

But if you main reason is games rather then work - ignore this....
