Look out for dual boot machines. Most Manufacturers still selling them, so that way you are licensed for both.
Also ask at Uni about any purchasing schemes they have. At least one manufacturer has a special pricing agreement for Education where they offer extra discount, so you may be able to take advantage of that (and its well worth taking advantage of!)

HP's 2000 series are the ultralight model, but the 6000 series are the balanced mobility, so are neither the lightest nor most powerful but a good combination of both. I personally would route for the 6000 series, good value, good meat to the machine, and easy to move.
