Need new laptop for college

Alright, going with the 13.3 inch model of the vaio S series for a total of $999.99

750GB (7200rpm) hard drive
3rd gen Intel® Core™ i5-3210M processor (2.50GHz / 3.10GHz with Turbo Boost)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640M LE (1GB) hybrid graphics with Intel® Wireless Display technology
13.3" LED backlit display (1600 x 900)
Windows 8 64-bit
8GB (4GB fixed onboard + 4GB removable) DDR3-1333MHz
CD/DVD player / burner
Internal lithium polymer battery (4400mAh)

Interestingly enough, the 13 inch one here has exactly the same specs at exactly the same price as a 15 inch model.  The only difference is that the 15 inch has a better screen and a numpad, while also being a pound heavier and getting less battery life.

If I'm making some terrible mistake, feel free to say so, otherwise I'm not bumping this anymore.

Just get a chrome book
they are cheap as Russian Mail Order Brides, and they work fine.
They are $300, so you get a nice deal for a cheap laptop.
If you aren't satisfied with Chrome OS, install ubuntu 13.04 on it lol.
The Acer is $200, Samsung is only $250.

Great choice. That'll do very well, it's good that you chose a small size like that.
