Either pay the MS tax and get whatever laptop you want and try out a Linux Distro (reccomend ubuntu) or Pay the Apple Tax (expensive hardware) and enjoy OSX Either way you'll be better off than waiting for Vista's amazing new "We put DRM on all of your files, so YOU don't have to! (and we copyright them so you can't use them any other computer, or brain or thought)"feature.
