i currently have a dell xps 1310 is not a bad machine, it looks nice and its pretty fast. but after i saw the mac air im really starting to fall for the macmania. and after apple releases its new 3g iphone this june, i might just go all the way in. but if you really want a pc that hold true power and still is pretty cheap, get the leonova thinkpad t61. this laptop is consider the most bang for your buck in any website that rates these things and they are all business inspired.
