What laptop should I be looking at for the AgressiveSon heading off to Illinois in the fall? Not a science guy.

I've had good luck with refurbished Acer laptops.  Go with a certified beer spill-proof model.

Send him down to campus at the end of summer session to go dumpster diving.

He could handle Rob if push came to shove over a laptop or a bottle of detergent.

Aggressiveson is apartment bound this August. What receipts app is best for him to scan in paper, emailed, or text receipts, etc. so that I can track the expenses for 529 account purposes? Any suggestions? Thanks.

That's great. Have a receipts app I can tell the AggressiveSon to load on his phone that I can access his receipts?

Every high tech computer nerd I have known in my life swears by them.  They ain't cheap, but they are best.
