I own an Inspiron 15 series laptop of Dell. It has been more than 4 years now, and my system is as young as it was on the day of purchase. Its a rough and tough system, hence ideal for a college going kid. You can customize your system as per your need, mine one is having 4GB of RAM, 500GB of HDD, 1GB Graphic card and intel Core-i5 second gen processor. You can vary the RAM and HDD size as per your need and as per your budget. But if you are looking for a decent machine that can run as well as withstand day to day normal accidents then this one especially for you.
