Lenovo Thinkpad. They're all on sale right now @ Lenovo.com

I have not had good experiences with Dell. If you want to go Dell, just buy an Acer, Acer makes all of Dell's laptops.

With a Mac you get to have both worlds. The ease of use with th Mac Os and the windozz world if you need it. E-mail dosn't care what kind of computer you use. I get that on my Palm.

Mac's are great except for the "gaming" side of things where nothing beats a PC.
I don't know many people that have had tremendous success with dual boot MAC/PC operating systems but I am sure there are people out there who will swear by it. I guess it depends on how good you are at being able to "dial-in" your cpu.

Also, for games, a desktop is much better than a laptop.
