Best laptop to buy for a college student?

I currently own a Vaio that is a year and a half old. For the past month it's been distorting any video or audio I play (apparently an issue with Vaio's that I didn't know before I bought it). I'm planning on bringing it back to Best Buy and getting a new laptop within the next few months (it's still under warranty). What would be the best laptop to buy for a college student? I ruled out a Mac because I'm not into any form of arts. I just need a laptop for basic internet surfing with a strong CPU and a decent amount of RAM. Please explain your recommendation, thanks.

No net books please.

    Buy a laptop if you really need to replace your old computer and use it as a main. Laptops, can be fairly portable. Laptops are good for gaming and media editing. A netbook is a great second computer to compliment your existing main computer. Netbooks are very portable but not as capable or powerful as laptops. Netbooks are ideal for surfing the web, lightweight gaming, and word processing. Tablets are just as or even more portable than netbooks. Tablets computers are perfect for media consumption. They're ideal for music, watching videos, playing interactive games, e-book reading and browsing the web.
