Thank you to all of you guys who contributed! I'm currently typing from new Portege. I'm extremely happy with it.

Barmymoo:
What led you to choose that in the end?

My laptop is a Lenovo X41 tablet with a whole bunch of problems that I think can be fixed without changing the laptop - a host of useless pre-installed software, a tiny harddrive and limited memory. Would anyone suggest upgrading the entire laptop to something new (and if so, what, bearing in mind how stony broke I am) or fixing the above issues bit by bit? I'm leaning towards the latter for price reasons but perhaps it is actually cheaper to just buy a new laptop without those problems.

Speaking truthfully, it's my first laptop and personal computer so I'd be happy just to have something functional. But this model goes way beyond that. It has just about everything I wanted and needed in a portable computer. For starters the spec's exceed both of the desktops in my house in RAM and hard-drive capacity. Secondly, the battery is designed to last over eight hours on a full charge, a must for someone who's not idle for longer than five minutes. The price was accessible and it weighs less than my empty book-pack, too. In comparison to the laptops I've mentioned earlier, this has the fewest complaints and is likely to stay current for the next several years (so as to avoid having a computer that's not easily updated in hardware and software). I think it's what's suitable to your own interests so honestly I can't guarantee that this is right for everyone, but I'm completely in love with this particular inanimate object.

Lupercal:
I was going to suggest Sony Vaio, because I'm on the VGN series and it is great. However, I did spend two hours today updating various bits of Vaio-ware which are entirely pointless that I never use, I should really get rid of them. I also should get that free Windows 7 upgrade shipped to me, its been two years now...
