    First off, she's cute.

    Now, a couple things you forgot.
    A voice recorder, so this way you can listen to the lecture again, on your own time.

    A USB hdd or thumb drive for backup. And a good place to backup your data online.

    Again the all important thing, pen/pencil and paper, what you gonna do if your computer dies and you have nothing to write with.

    @Colonel Jack O'Neill: Take it from someone that got burned by one of your recommendations. CHECK WITH YOUR SCHOOL'S POLICY BEFORE RECORDING A CLASS. While some schools don't care, or professors don't care, I taped a review class for a friend who was not there and when the professor found out, she flipped out and had a major malfunction. She basically accused me of helping someone cheat (because my friend had the review recording the next day while the school made their recording available the day after - yes, the school was recording it too) and I had to speak with three different deans about why my recording of the class was a "serious violation of school policy."

    My grades were withheld while it was all resolved and in general was a HUGE headache that was totally unnecessary.

    To head off the questions: why was I also recording it if the school was going to? Because the school was notorious for botching up recording of review sessions. Out of the 4 review sessions I was promised would be recorded over the tenure of my schooling, only 1 ever was actually recorded and made available.

    Why did I agree to record it for my friend if it was against school policy?
    a) I didn't know the policy (my bad)
    b) other professors have outright encouraged recording before and
    c) it was a friend - you look out for each other.

    Check your handbook before you record. Seriously.

    @rclAlaric: PC stands for "personal computer", not "Windows-based personal computer". All Apple desktops and laptops are PCs, but not all PCs are Apples.
