Which labtop should i get for college?

I'm going to a 4yr university in the fall i don't know which labtop to get, everyone is going with the macbooks i just don't like those for some reason, i don't like the interface i prefer the old microsoft xp that im used to like on desktop computers, i also like buttons that are "clicky" if you know what i mean, i was thinking like an ordinary toshiba or dell maybe? i heard HP's suck i liked those, any feedback is great, thanks!
