Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
get a macbook or macbook pro.
they come with mac OS X built in, which means you already have itunes, imovie, garageband, iphoto, ichat, and just about everything else you need.
and with the new intel core duo hard drives, they are some of the fastest computers out there.
if it breaks, you have a year warranty that comes standard, but you can get an extended five year warranty for about fifty bucks more.
the only thing wrong is that they can get a bit pricey. the regular macbook starts at $1099, and the macbook pro starts out at $1999.
plus you get a free ipod nano.

Don't focus on the brand name, it doesn't mean anything. Laptop components are made by the same companies.
I see we have a lot of Mac fans here! Macs come pre-loaded with OS X, which a fine, Unix-based Operating System. However, you won't be able to run windows-only programs on it, like MS Word(You'll have to buy a different version) or Internet Explorer. It is possible to dual-boot OS X and Windows, but this is an advanced operation you might have trouble with.

The Dell's come with a lot of features that would be useful to you. They are not majorly expensive either. Everyone I know that has a Dell say it is really good.

Dell laptops are good if the main things you are going to be using are like microsoft word and internet and all that stuff, and they're usually well priced. not to expensive.
Apple computers have allot of neat stuff on them though but are allot more expensive and I heard allot slower than dells. My sister got one when she went to college and it broke twice. But maybe you'll have better luck with one.
I'd get a dell though.
