Mac.
I've had an iBook G4 for 16 months now and love it. When I get back stateside, I'm buying a Mac desktop too.

#2 for Mac
Have an iBook for 2 years and and iMac for 3. WIll not even think of using a PC again. Unbelievably maintenance free and now you can pretty much get any software for Mac OSX so the old worry of needing a PC to do specific functions is no longer true.
Besides you know what that say... Once you go Mac you never go back.
Wow, that was ridiculously corny and I am sorry.

Serenity now
I'd probably go with a Dell Latitude, depending on the features most important.

Bought a Macbook in July. Best. Laptop. Ever. I used to build desktops for my computers so I'm no PC newb or anything. Windows and OS X each do their own things differently, so it's tough to say one is "better" because everyone's uses are different.
But I will say this. For my purposes anyway, the productivity features integrated into OS X blow anything Windows could hope to have (which is why they're copying it and putting it in Vista). Spotlight searches in everything, smart folders, ical/mail intergration, growl message alerts....the list goes on, and I haven't even mentioned widgets. Yeah, there's a windows equivalent for everything that you can download and install, but why deal with all of that? Which brings me to my next point - no registry, no need to manually defrag (it does it for you). I have like a hundred apps installed on my mac and it hasn't slowed anything down one bit.

I've never used a Mac laptop, and havn't used a Mac at all in 8 years. I just found out that my office has a Mac desktop (if thats what you can call it, very small). The Mac OS is pretty snazzy looking, but I'm a huge fan of my new IBM T60 laptop. A guy that I work with who is more in the know than me said the T60 is the best Windows laptop that he has ever used, but he would probably get a Mac if he has to buy a new laptop. I would guess I'm too cheap to buy a Mac, T60, or a Dell if I had to buy a laptop. I'd probably check out tigerdirect for a month or 2 and find the best deal I could on one for around $500.
