My first laptop I got when I went off to college was an HP and it was ok for about a year and then just did not hold up. (It got to wear it cost more to repair it and it was worth.)
My second laptop and current one is an Acer we purchased at Circuit City and it has done wonderful....no complaints.
My only suggestion is to get the very most memory and speed you can afford. My parents have a Compaq Presario with a pentinum 4 - so it works as quickly as any desktop and has tons of memory....but is not lightweight!!! (But they needed the memory as they both work needed bigger programs for their work installed.)
Good luck laptop shopping!!
