Answer 1 :
Just go to www.newegg.com or whatever computer website and go to the laptop section and look for a laptop with at least an i5 core (intel) and 2GB Ram and more than 160 GB HDD. Basically, just look for the best laptop specs in your budget and get it.. also make sure it has good video card too in case you're doing CAD and stuff. Anyway, good luck and let me know if you still need help. Check this laptop out and go on from there: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146613
Answer 2 :
The lifespan of electronic goods is getting shorter and shorter. So any laptop (be it cheap or expensive) is not going to work wonderful after 3 years. If you maintain it very good then it may last another year. So depending on your budget and requirement you can go for a suitable model. E.g. you like lite, and easy to carry then a ultra thin or mobile will do. If you like big screen but don't mind the weight then you can go for 17' laptops. Check cnetasia.com for laptop reviews and selection criteria. Also if you are joining in Uni typically the Uni has subsidized laptop. (try 8flags.com.sg).
