I got my laptop (this old beast that I'm typing on right now) in the Spring of Grade 12 (which was in 2006). Back then, I didn't know much about laptops, so I let my brother pick for me. It's a Toshiba Satellite (the early kind). It has served me well for the past four years, but is going to stop working for good probably within the next year. It's super super slow now and gets hit by viruses and whatnot really easy. Someday I think it's fan's just going to go on overdrive and die.
But my main complaint about my laptop is the weight. For 2006 laptops, it's not all that clunky, but today you can get much lighter laptops, and tip #2 to new students is to get as light a laptop as you can! My laptop travels on my back (I'd suggest a packsack case, or else one shoulder is going to suffer) to classes, work and even on trips and after a while it sure makes your back sore. Since most students live more than a minute from school, you will be carrying the thing long distances and muscles will hurt because of it. My next laptop (whenever that happens) will be the best quality light laptop I can afford!
