I am going to do my Computer engineering starting this year and wanted to know whether I will be able to C/C++/Java/Visual Basic etc programming through the windows I install through bootcamp in Mac?? If yes, then I dont think Ill be looking at anything else!

Anyother other good laptops in that range would also be good!

pirated games will be hard to find for mac from your friends although u can always get it from torrents and other file hosting websites. i never play games!

if that's not the issue, i would recommend macbook pro any day. u will get it for 65k after student's discount.
