Other answers:
My boarding school recommends apple computers. They suggest Dell brands. But personally, I suggest a computer by HP. My laptop came loaded with games and it automaticcally downloaded the newest Windows Media the moment I got online. You should get a laptop that has Windows XP Professional and is manufactured by HP(software/program, not the actual laptop itself). Go look around for sales. Try to get a laptop with at least 512 memory. You can always add memory on later. Mine was about $300 from a sale at PC Richards.
I hope this had helped. ;)
