depends on what you are willing to spend. also, some colleges give discounts to students when they are buying their laptops.
the best laptops I've used have been either Sony, IBM/Lenovo, and Apple.
Right now I have a sony fe series and I love it. Even after a year, I still prefer it to my new desktop/22'' monitor ;)
Great computers. One of my friends also got a killer deal on a new sony laptop, and its really nice. If you can spare the extra 100/200 bucks, get the sony.

If you want best bang for the buck, get a laptop w/ fastest Yonah processor (cheap). It could be Core Solo T1400 or Celeron M450. Have at least 1Gb RAM and ATI or Nvidia graphics. You will be amazed at what it can do; beats most business desktops.
Dual cores are nice (and expensive) for power users, otherwise, 2nd core will be idle most of the time.

HPs are probably the best in terms of cost verses effectiveness. Plus their media system laptops are very good and perfect for the college people.

Probably a HP or Dell, they are the top sellers. Too many variables like screen size and usage. My source link has a great forum and they will give you free expert advice as well as reviews on all the brands and models.

I bought a dell with 2 gigs of memory and duel core CPU 2 Ghz each. as long as you get that – you’ll be very happy. I love my laptop. (~$1500)

Dell,Sony and Toshiba all make good laptops. All are basically the same when configured alike (CPU, Ram and drives)
