Laptop Printer Bag

What is the best laptop for me?
i need a laptop for college.
my price range is $400-$800.
i have to have a digital media card reader…like a memory card and all that.
i need a good battery…one that will last a long time.
built in speakers.
preferably microsoft word.
it would also be really great if i could get the student discount.
i attend henderson state university in arkadelphia, arkansas.
it’d be cool if i could get a bag or mouse or printer with it or something.
i’m really just looking for the best for less. plus my specifications, of course.
i’ve tried to build my laptop, but i can never seen to get it right….especially with the digital media card reader.
help!
thanks!

#2 If you are worried about battary life make sure you have at least 1 gig of RAM … if your laptop does not have enough RAM the processor has to work harder & the battary does not last as long.
#3 You seem to be focusing on “bells & whistles” You will have to make a choice … get the fancy “bells & whistles” or get the faster processor and the larger RAM that will add to the lifespan of your computer.
