This might be too soon since im probably not going to purchase one untill christmas but i was wondering what kind of laptops people would suggest buying. Ive been looking at the Gateway 400XL's, the apple powerbooks, and some of the Toshibas.

The Gateways are pretty good on the price, very affordable, but some of the middle 400 1.5GHz Intel Centrino series cost more than the higher 600 Pentium 4 2.2GHz-M series and bolth have the same amount of ram and video ram.


The apples are nice but very pricy especially when you add in a super drive and im not sure id like to work with Mac OSx.

What do you guys think? Please dont say "Dude get a Dell"
