Help Wanted

OK , so my journey to study overseas has reached the point where you can basically assume that, barring some major hickup in the works, I will be in England this time next year (actually about a month before that, but who's tracking :D). Anyway, on to the "I need help bit". I want to buy a laptop before I go, but I've never really looked into it before. Never really cared if I had one, since I prefer the note-taking in class with pencil and paper thing (I know, I'm old) and I couldn't see any other reason that I'd want to bother with one otherwise. Going overseas changes everything about this attitude, of course, because I'll be damned if I'm going to lug my desktop on a plane or check it as baggage! I've heard fairly recently that Apple is around the top for quality in laptops, but if anyone can tell me what to look for, what to avoid, who to look at brandwise and all that pertinent stuff, I'd be so eternally grateful! (Seriously, we're talking real cookies, not just the virtual cyber stuff you only pretend to eat!) Thanks bunches guys!

Love and huggles all!

Apples are awesome, I would also be willing to suggest HP. You will need to remember to order a European adapter before going of course.

I would avoid Toshiba, Gateway, E-Machines, or Compaq, they are all shit. Sony is fine though.

Oh yeah, get online sometime so we can hang out!!!! :( :( :(
