I've been very happy with my Dell Latitude.  I avoided the Inspirion line, 
though - mainly because of the on-board winmodem.

pros:
        nice display & keyboard
        2nd battery for extra time
        supports floppy & CD at the same time, and can hot-swap them
        APM works great
cons:
        XFree86 only supports the neomagic chipset up to 16bpp @ 1024x768
I'm still trying to figure out the sound drivers.  I know it can be done, 
just haven't been too inspired to figure it out.

Hope this helps.
Mike
