Mixture of good and bad today. I'm still very definitely not healthy and not happy, and every lead I had as far as possible counselling goes has gone nowhere. On the up side, I've found somewhere to live for the six weeks I'll be in Dorset; one of the teachers at the school I'll be working at has a spare room with en suite bathroom, it's inexpensive enough that the University will cover it and I can get a lift in to school every day. Weight off my mind.

Which brings me to the point of the post. Lugging my computer down to Frome isn't going to be the easiest of tasks, and I kinda need to buy a laptop for work related things anyway - guarantee that someday I'm going to want to show mah pupils a powerpoint. So I'm looking for a laptop and I have absolutely no idea about buying computers, frankly. Should I be going with a laptop or should I be looking Macwards? Who can say?

I've got about £900 in the bank currently and I'll be getting another few hundred to spare at the end of the month, so don't recommend anything too pricey, but. What do you use? What works for you? Which brands are worth trusting?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Dells are good, and often give discounts to students and teachers. And I know that Mac (though yes, they are expensive, but should you choose to get one) at least in the US gives a 10% discount to students and educators.
