Haven't tried LogMeIn but TeamViewer is free. It works well.
Now latency will be a problem, especially if you're working in video edition, I would keep that in mind.

Mac products are overpriced, but the difference with Windows laptop isn't as much as it was years ago. I was forced by my school to buy a MacBook Pro and honestly, I think the Retina display was very useful for me. Atm, their lowest price for a laptop with a Retina display is 1400$.
I'd say, if you want to buy a laptop lower than 1400$, go with Windows. 1400$ or above, Mac could be.

One thing I need to ask, does your college program have any requirements concerning the OS ?

They probably do but I haven't really seem what are their requirements for hardware. I'm quite sure they're going to ask me to get a MacBook for majority of software, however.

mac is industry standard for video/audio editing, so if this is school work, go with a macbook. especially if you expect to have days where you learn about how specific software works.
