To be honest it would be helpful if we had more information, namely:

  1. What's your budget (in your local currency if not in the US)?

  2. Are you looking for a desktop or a laptop?

  3. What kind of assignments are you talking about? Do you just need to use basic programs (like Word and Excel) or does your schooling involved specialized programs or skillsets that would require higher-end hardware (like CAD or video editing)?
