same old question: Recommendation on purchasing a laptop

I'd say, when in doubt, buy Dell with XP OS (if you haven't used Vista yet).

Don't buy mac, it sucks eventually. Been using mac book pro for more than 2 years, and now I think of it as a big hype. Plus it heats up so badly, you can not call it a "laptop". Everything annoys me about mac these days -- my-poop-smells-jasmine attitude of mac. Right now, if I have to choose between mac and ubuntu, I will go for Ubuntu, hands down.

In the age of Virtual machines, I don't think running multiple OS simultaneously is a big issue.
