Im starting school next year and going into a Computer Science program. I do some light Photoshopping with various things, designing my xanga/myspace/livejournal layouts. I want to load my copy of Warcraft III onto it too. I'd like something cost effective, and I dont really want to spend more than 1500, if that much.

Any suggestions on specific notebooks, what components I should concentrate on, or brands I should stick with would be greatly appretiated!!

Im not too clueless as to this stuff, but I trust someone here knows of some crazy website where they sell top line notebooks for a dollar and a half.

Actually Dells are one of the most recommended laptops, I would recommend a Dell laptop, but if I did I would recommend a small business one from dell. They have come nice little workstation notebooks, there expensive though . If you buy small business they are the best on the market, plus there cheaply built like the Compaq or Dell Desktops. My mom has a Dell 600m and its a nice little laptop, has survived many falls, and has the longest battery life I have seen out there. When it is 100% charged it has lasted me about 4 hours. Now as for Compaq, anything Compaq is a bad idea once you touch it...

Plus its no longer IBM, its Lenovo. The thinkpad is way to over priced. Like anything made by Lenovo (Or good-ole IBM) IBM is now all about IT, and they do it good.
