Got about 500-600 dollars to spend on a lap-top that will last me for the next three years of college.

Bought a Mac for my first year, but I really did not like it, and my mom loved it and I gave it to her.

Parents said budget is 500-600 for a new one.

Just wanted your opinions on what I should get,

I dont think I can get an i7 processor, but shit I dont even know what those mean, just read i7 is the best and intel is better than AMD.

Advice please
