The Deets: Studying is as vital to the quintessential college experience as regretful mornings and customized beer pong tables, which makes owning a dependable, multipurpose laptop almost mandatory these days. Toshiba's Satellite laptops are known for their ultraportability, but their sleek M640 model in particular packs the processor power equivalent of a Brock Lesnar right hook all into 5.4 lbs of silicon awesomeness. For the price, the standard technical specs (4GB DDR3 RAM, 320GB hard drive, and an Intel® Core™ i3 processor) are pretty solid, but we're most impressed by the 14" LED backlit widescreen, which is perfect for watching DVDs or Blu-rays in between cram sessions, not to mention the onboard harman/kardon speakers which produce a fuller, crisper sound than most other laptops. You'll also feel at ease knowing your laptop has a hard drive impact sensor that safeguards your data in case of a sudden drop.

Why It's Required Purchasing: Because it's really good at high-definition, uh, note taking. Yeah, that's it.
Price: Starts at $655 @ Toshiba.com
