Techie Question

All this time on GreekChat, and I never realized that there isn't a Techie Forum!

I've been looking at laptops for a while now. It will be used mostly for genealogical & other research, so I need a sufficient amount of memory. Lightness would be a plus, along with ms office, an optic mouse, and probably more that I can't remember right now. I don't need to have a microphone or optic whatever, or a fancy paint job.

I've been looking at the hp G72t series, which seems to meet my needs. So, my questions are:

-About how much should someone spend on a laptop?
-Should I order the most MB possible now, if I'm having this custom made?
-How about batteries? About how many do most people go through? I'm ashamed at how old my last laptop is, yet I've just used one battery (recharged it as needed).
-How many adapters are needed?
-Do you suggest lojack?
and don't laugh at me but
-what about a printer? How do you print off of a laptop?

If anyone can help me, please, please do! If it's one answer, or a suggestion of another style, I really need to know soon.

Thanks!
