I was thinking of buying a laptop for college but I have no idea where to start since this is my first time so I don't want to end up making mistakes that are going to cost me alot of money.

So for all you artists out there who own laptops, what would be a good laptop that's;

-ideal for running photoshop and other multimedia apps at the same time
-good for gaming
-good for a college student
-connects to the internet where ever i go

I'm basically looking for a laptop that covers the college aspect and it powerful enough to handle multimedia applications and games at the same time while giving me access to the internet almost everywhere I go.
I don't want to give up photoshop/music/games in college just because my comp. can't handle it.
