Computer for University

So I'm getting a computer from my university or I might just get another laptop, apart from my Toshiba Satellite.Here are the specs, please tell me if it is a good setup:http://www.wfu.edu/is/thinkpad/t61/specs.htmlfeel free to comment, or tell me an alternative!

what course are you doing at university, and what will you be using the computer for?

All freshmen (first-years) are required to take the core classes, so there is a core class for computer engineering, 3-d designing, and an optional game design. I'll also use the laptop for gaming and day-to-day activities, such as visiting RomUlation ;D

That computer is pretty good, specs are better than mine. Do you get a wide selection or just between the two? A laptop would be a good choice for a university student.

laptops aren't built for gaming though

Awesome specs for a university students, I also got a laptop for my biological studies.

A good laptop choice though, I'd say you would spend more time studying etc. than playing games.

Replying to #7

Yeah, I'll be studying, I am a pretty good student and I'm on a scholarship so I have to keep the grades up. Thanks to everyone who posted as well.

best of luck. :D
