I've been asked to recommend a laptop with long battery life for use on long trans continental airline flights. The user is word processing/spreadsheet oriented.
Get an Centrino based laptop.
Windows is fully supported and Linux is getting there (the WLAN driver is in a useable beta stage)
The brand (Acer, Dell, IBM, ...) doesn't really matter. Every major player has high quality / high price modells as well as those with a smaller price tag (and a not so good quality...)
CU, Christian
PS: I'm writing this on an Acer Travelmate 800 series laptop - which I'd buy again. It's high quality with a very reasonable price tag. And performance (even with FlightGear) is great
