I'm heading back to school in september so this time i got a laptop and I LOVE it. I actually read an article on cnet.com a couple weeks ago that was saying laptops are becoming even more upgradable lately. I'll see if I can find the article.
I know on my IBM Thinkpad I can upgrade memory, hard-drive or wireless card very easily, in addition to the PCMCIA slots available. I've read on Macbooks the possibilities vary by model (some you can't do much, others there are more options. Be sure to ask).
