But then when it comes to the laptop or software to use, I'm really not sure what to go with.
Wondering what others have used? I dont think I need anything fancy, but would like to add drums maybe, the other instruments and vocals I would record myself.

Epic bump lol..I have a response in this thread from 2011!
Anyways, if you've got a mac, I recommend you just jump into garageband. Its plenty functional and its free. You'll get used to the recording workflow and there's plenty of in built features to get your mixes sounding good.
I actually recently went back to using garageband more than some of the more feature rich software I had just because it helps me focus on the actual musical ideas and not get lost in learning complicated software.
