Good laptop for university and gaming on the side?

Anyone know a good laptop or netbook for university work? I want something that's strong, reliable, fast and doesn't freeze all the time. My old laptop (Asus) broke which is really disappointing. My priority for getting a new laptop/netbook is for university so portability is a huge plus. However, I'd like one that's strong enough for some gaming (I'm fine running games on low or medium or playing simple games like Plants vs Zombies) and good for multitasking and running lots of programs and also good for multimedia stuff. I'm looking for something that's $900 or below but it can exceed that a little bit if the laptop is really good. Thank you very much and I hope this is the right forum.

Please define the laptop size e.g. 11 inch, 13 inch, 15 inch, 16 inch and 'etc'.

I'm happy with any size to be honest as long as it isn't too big. If I had to say, I think a 13 or 15 inch would be good. 17 doesn't seem too bad though.

get a good tablet from fujitsu or lenovo. the lenovo tablets arent that expensive and should allow you to do mundane tasks with the added benefit of having one note and good reliability. the fujitsu tablets have good screens and a optical drive which could be necessary for different tasks.you can always go the hp tm2 route which has an ati gpu, but supposedly the screen is not good.
