Hi Mark,

As much as I would like to recommend a Linux system at this time the best
hardware you can buy is a Mac.  I know some say that the premium $ is not
worth it but after using one for over 2 years I have nothing better to recommend.

BTW, the price is way worth it and it's based on a solid unix OS.
At this point even if I was strictly running Linux I would by Mac hardware.

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

My oldest is heading off to college in the Fall, and she needs to take a laptop with her. She has used Linux all her life, but only from Gnome, so Windows, Mac, Linux are all "the same" to her. She is a journalist, not a computer geek. Anyway, one significant requirement is for iTunes to work with her iTouch (i.e. buy music and download to her iTouch). I have not been able to get Wine/iTunes to work with Debian, so I have resorted to a single Windows computer just for a few games and iTunes at home. 
 
Any recommendations (1) for laptops and (2) how to keep her using Linux and not shelling out extra bucks for a Mac, or heaven forbid, a Windows machine?
 
Thanks!
