Hi all I'm thinking about getting a new laptop for travel reasons when I go to university and all in a year or so...so I would like recommendations for a possible new laptop. Any certain brands you'd recommend, and prices? (If possible, convert US $ into British £ ?)

Thanks for any help you guys can offer, and smashing job on the new forum and choice of Beirut as moderator! He's a great mod!

Thanks in advance, - TheSilverKnight
