I'm about to buy a new laptop. Primary yews will be university-related (MATLAB, Maple, etc.) and gaming (JKA, Dota 2, that style).
what should I be looking for? (And what should I avoid?)

Optical drive (DVD/whatever) - can you live without one? -- Yes but having a dvd drive is nice, and they seems to be coming as a standard now days.
Touch screen - worth it? No
SSD/hybrid drive/HDD - ups and downs? Fast, but it only lasts so long. Like most solid state devices they only have so many write / rewrites in its lifetime.
