I am a big PC fan (love the openness) but even I will concede that buying a laptop has not been easy for quite some time now. fwiw - the asus u series is pretty good, good battery life and very light, the lenovo t series is built like a tank, and the hp elitebooks are very nice. For a desktop I would recommend PC's anyday, but for notebooks I must grudgingly concede that buying a mac laptop is the logical thing to do from a hardware standpoint.
