I have a laptop and I don't take it to lectures.
While a laptop might be good and quick for writing up basic notes, you soon find out that they're very bad when the lecturer puts up a diagram on the whiteboard. How do you draw the diagram into an MS Word document? You could do it but it will take you a million years on a laptop.
Best thing for a lecture is a notepad and pen. If you cant write quick, then take an iPod or some other device that can record and ask the lecturer if you can record their lecture. Most lecturers will allow you to do it, and if so, you put the recorder up the front so it can pick up his or her voice.
Then you can take notes on a laptop when you get home.

Im not sure how things go at UQ :\ But, there are some classes where its best that you bring your laptop with you to class. When I did my statistics subject, my lecturer was solving questions using excel and he was always asking us to get our laptops to class.Pommy babe said:
I did some other subjects, where other lecturers asked us to get our laptops to class with us.
EDIT: It also depends on the subject you're doing, some lecturers dont let students open their laptops in class.

Well that's just fucking stupid. I did stat2201 (I think that's the course code).
I went to 1 lecture and I passed. It's so bullshit; you don't need to do laptopy note shit - that's just for idiots (or the more studious types... who can go get fucked).
Conclusion: everyone should NOT attend class; instead, cram the night before because that is what I call academic competition =P
All you regular class fuckers can go eat minge.
