I see Mac has been suggested already, but I would recommend against that. Compatibility issues will come up frequently, especially when your school project needs to be submitted in Microsoft Word. There are ways around that, but the hassle of doing so, as well as the high cost of the product, outweigh the reliability in my opinion.
As you said, Dell isn't exactly reliable. My girlfriend's Dell laptop has gone through hell and back diagnostically. I work in a rent-to-own store and we constantly get Dell laptops and desktops in for service. In that respect, I would go for HP, as that is what I have here at home, and what we receive for service the least. I have the HP Pavilion Slimline s5250t. You can look it up on the HP website. If you're not going to be using it for gaming and such as I do, you can go for the cheaper model in the same series.
Alternatively, Compaq computers as good as well. I believe Compaq and HP are the same company now anyway. I would avoid cheap knock-off brands, like what you would find at Walmart for $250. They'll fall apart and cost you more in the long run. My suggestion is to buy either a new HP, Compaq, or Sony, or a refurbished one from a reputable supplier.

I'd have to say that Mac is the best brand out there. I've always used a PC, but since February I've been using a Mac, and I can say that I will never use a PC again. Macs are just significantly better. They're pricey, but worth it. They never get viruses because the security software updates so frequently. They have lots of space. I would suggest getting an external hard drive, just in case. They're not mandatory, but they are good to have for backup in case something goes wrong.
So, go for a Mac. They may be a little expensive, but it's definitely worth it because these computers go a long way.

Yeah I hear you with Dell I've had many problems with them. Their tech service is absolutely horrible. I'm actually looking to buy a new computer as well but I'm thinking of going for a laptop. SOme good brands are Mac because they don't get many viruses or so they say. I've heard great things about Sony and Acer computers as well! Good Luck! Happy Holidays!
