Dell have Office Home & Student available. You don't want OpenOffice; trust me ~ any of your school-work will stick out like a sore thumb if you're using it :X
I've done all of my work on OOo for as long as I can remember, and I've never had any complaints from any teachers or professors. I'm not saying in a professional setting that it will be good (I'd recommend StarOffice for that), but it should be more than good enough for high school work.

If you're doing things such as citing articles, or making bibliographies, I found that Microsoft office was quite helpful in that respect, though like the grammar and spelling check, not to be wholy depended on.

Do you mean stick out, because of how the font or style looks when printed out?

I'd definately advise against HP. I've had an HP laptop die on me for no reason whatsoever, irrecoverably so. That's just one person's experience, granted, but also you should consider that HP laptops are offten monstrously overpriced for what they are.
That's not true, actually. I got my HP laptop for considerably less than an equal-spec dell would have cost.

Mai website =3

Yeah HP laptops are generally well-priced. The ones I have seen anyway. They're also available at costco.

I find that it is Sony's vaio that tend to be overpriced, and it would seem that their laptops are hit and miss. But they tend to aim for higher quality, so you'd be paying too much.
