These are the two laptops I've come up with so far:

Over the next few days, I will be researching laptops. I will then be purchasing one by the end of the week, so that I will have it when I start classes at the community college.

So in short, start researching for me!;)

Go with an apple all the way with an AMD processor at about 2.4 Ghz. Kick it up to a gig of DDR ram and a video card ATI or Nvidia with at least 256 ram or even boot that up to a 512. On a laptop a 40 or 60 gig hard drive should be plently unless you want to put a lot of stuff on it. If you have something against apple wait till the 30th and go with Windows Vista, and you should have a very nice computer.... For a laptop that is.

Video Cards for Laptops are not a good way to go. Bumps up the price, and it'll be outdated anyway. Instead look for RAM (1G+), HD Space (100-ish), the various ports you'll need/want, screen size, etc..

Remember, when it says "128 Megs of (integrated) Ram" on a Video Card, that means it's shared with main system memory.

The ones with dedicated video cards are a lot more expensive.
