I'm eyeing the Dell vostro 5460. Is it suitable for students who are going to enter college? And where can I take a look at the real thing?

If you obsolutely need light weight, and still has reasonable power to run some CAD, math, software, then go for the i5-3230M spec.
Since you did not mention your budget, I suppose it is around RM2k?

For engineering course, if you ever need to run some apps that need CPU work load, try to go for laptop with i7 quad core.
Try to look for this Lenovo, more or less the cheapest laptop with i7 quad core in Malaysia now.
Ideapad Z580, i7-3612QM + Nvidia GT640M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), freeDOS, white
