Ramster, Once you start down the path to the dark side... forever will it dominate your destiny
I see no reason to turn to the dark.. eh Mac... just because win98 is unstable. WinXP rocks. But I can't recommend any laptops except that I would go for widescreen myself if I had to get one.
Also - and you probably already know this - check for battery lifetie. They may come with all sorts of fancy things... but if you can only use it an hour before you have to recharge... well
