Advice on buying a laptop?

I'm going in to collage and I'm looking for a good laptop to type up papers, use the Internet and maybe watch movies. I would like it to be pretty inexpensive to. I know very little about computers so any help will be much appreciated.

Dell. Most any line. XPS is tops, Inspirion bottom, Studio in between.

I have the Inspirion 1525 which I can highly recommend.
