Laptop advice

I need to buy my son a new laptop for school, I have to get it at walmart or sams, (buisness related) any ideas or thoughts?

I was looking at this one

Any thoughts on it? He does some lighter gaming, I.E. team fortress 2.

Well, it'd be helpful if we knew what he planned to use it for in school. Specifically what type of courses will he be taking? For general purpose use and light gaming that laptop will be fine but if say he gets into something like CAD or a few other specialized areas we might have different recommendations. Also a budget would be nice.

Also, what level of school and where. Sometimes the best deal is the college bookstore. That often takes care of setup for the college network, and is an easy return for possible warranty problems.
