 Sorry I meant Laptops (I've got LV on my mind).

The Macs are very nice. The only problem with that is that if you want to run Windows as well, then you need a windows xp cd with SP2 on it. That's the only version that you can run on Mac. The other nice thing about the macs is that they run a linux kernel which means you can run most Linux software (read, free) on your Mac with a little Linux know-how.

The problem with PC laptops right now is that Vista is a resource hog. This is a problem for laptops because they are gonna need a buttload of RAM and new graphics cards to support Vista. That and Vista will be just like XP. It will have lots of problems until SP1 comes out.

My recommendation: if you're getting a laptop in the next year - seriously look into the MAC. It will cost more but those laptops are nice.
