Hey Peoples!

My current set up is a Laptop, one AKG C1000s Mic (that I haven't taken out the case since buying it earlier this year) and BlueSky Media 2.1 Monitors that are connected directly to my Laptop.
My question is..well I have two:

I've been advised by a couple people in this forum to get an Audio Interface, but first of all I'm not sure what one is exactly.

So...What exactly is an Audio Interface, what does it do? And Why do I need one (I'm pretty sure I do..but I'd like to understand why)?

My second Question: My Strict Budget for an Audio Interface is £200.00 ($400.00) Maximum for now... What good ones can I find for that sort of price range? Recommendations would be really great. Tony Belmont Mentioned a Mackie Onyx a few weeks ago.

cheers guys
