You should easily be able to find a decent notebook. A month ago I helped my inlaws in shopping for a new laptop. At the time, Office Max had an HP dual core i3, 4 GB of DDR3 ram, 500 GB 7200 rpm hard drive with Windows 7 64 bit version for $550 if I remember correctly.

That would easily allow you to run poker along with HEM or PT3. You could probably run 4 hands at a time. Maybe more.

The key features I'd look for is dual core (i3 or i5) or quad core (i7) if you can afford it, 4 GB of ram and a 500 GB 7200 rpm hard drive. Next on the list is the display. Make sure it has a LED backlit screen. Most now a days do but just verify that.

Also since this is for college, I'd also get an external hard drive to back up your key files. That way if the drive dies on you, you'll have a second copy of all your work. I remember hearing of someone in Calgary who was working on his phd or something and was almost done his final paper that he spend the last couple of years working on. Computer was stolen from his car and he lost all of that work. Backups are key since we use computers for so much now.
