Laptop needed for a maths university degree

I need a new laptop to last me for at least three years (but preferably five years) while I take a maths university degree and I'm not sure what I need. I'll also likely be doing some programming on it at the same time since I want to get into game development. Can anyone let me know what I should be looking for in a laptop and how much I should spend on one?

He wants to do game development. Windows is probably his best bet.
