Well I got some credit at bestbuy and my fiance is going back to college soon. I would like to know which is the best bang for my buck at bestbuy shes not going to be doing any gaming, or graphic intensive stuff. But i would like this laptop to last a couple of years.. maybe 3. thanks
 
I would get a Lenovo ThinkPad, I've gotten them (T61 & R60) for both my college students and I also have a 8 year old T20 & a 12 year old 760ELD ThinkPad that still work fine. The keyboards are great and they're very durable. Go to You Tube and search ThinkPad - pretty neat videos by owners.
 
For basic tasks (internet, word, etc.) any laptop would be fine. My 3 year old $399 black friday Dell still performs those tasks without issue. Of course, there will be minor issues such as decreased battery life but if you care for it, any basic laptop will serve the functions you need.

For a laptop you intend to use that long I would suggest buying a business class notebook if you can. They are usually built a little tougher and should handle the use and abuse of 3 years better.
