Macintosh PowerBook of course. Slightly pricier, but you get what you pay for. When the same company that makes the hardware also makes the software, it makes a lot of sense. Seriously? There are 3 schools of thought in portable computing: A/ As small and as light as possible with reduced features (11/12 inch screen) B/ Medium in size and nature - does more than A but more to carry (14/15 inch screen) C/ Biggest - all the toys, expensive, really a desktop replacement (17 inch screen) I'm B, but if I had to buy new it would be A. There are some very nice rugged PC laptops out there if you're a windows man. If you're a Mac man, how about a nice lil iBook?
