I have a IBM (lenova) with 1GB, work on Costume designing, tons of uploads to the web server weekly, its really good. My partner works on Compaq similar work., both are decent priced. you can go for Sony which is a bit expensive but a nice one. ( iam basically a computer engineer ).

Stay away from MACs. Maybe you might need a CAD program, and a lot of them don't run on MACs.
If you are using 3D-Rendering CAD programs, you may need some sort of Professional Business GPU, which could cost a lot. A good GPU of that type would be the NVIDIA Quadro.
Either way, if you're just doing "studies," where you just surf the web, do traditional computer things, then a $499 one from Dell or whatever will more than suffice.
Good luck!

Get a Mac! Any new Mac is plenty powerful enough as long as you get it with at least 1 GB of RAM.

Go to PC World store.
For :-
Good advice.
Good selection.
Good backup if anything goes wrong (except broken screen).
Against :-
Not the cheapest, but 'you get what you pay for'.
