I just thought I would insert my $.02 about this.  If it is really an issue, 
then purchase the laptop from PC Club.  They seem to be great items, and I 
got a $120 (or thereabouts) discount when I priced the system out.  They 
really seemed like decent systems.

In the end, however, I went with the Apple Powerbook.  Although I have not 
attempted to install Linux yet, I must say that I have been quite pleased 
with Mac OS X.

The only issue I currently have is that the included emacs doesn't include 
font-lock-mode (syntax coloring), and I cannot get fink's terminal version to 
work.  Other than that, I have been extremely pleased with both the 
productivity and the entertainment side of things.  Plus, I am a big fan of 
eye candy. :-P
