Here is a Dell that Walmart is offering.

This is a pretty good model. The only thing it is lacking is a firewire port.
This is almost identical to what we got my son.

You will not need the XPS for a student.
One of the better Inspirons (not the entry level, but one of the
better ones) or an Insprion would be good.
We got an Inspiron for our HS Senior for taking to school next
year. Dual processor with Vista Premium.
I got myself a Latitutde with a Dual AMD processor and XP. (It is
dockable which is a must for me.)
XPS would be a little bit of over kill.
They also make the Vostro line which is a small business line which
you might want to look into.
Their dell Auctions and Refurb line is not bad. Their prices are a
little high on the refurbs, but you can get their care packages with
them then. They are mostly off lease machines. Most of the banks
around here all use Dell equipment.
