I bought a Latitude through Dell Small Business. The machines are better put together than the Dell Home machines, and I think they come with less random junk installed. Also, I'm told that the Small Business support division is better.
In my case, though, the first thing I plan to do is shrink the windows partition down to 10 GB or so and put Linux on it.
I think Macs are really good machines. They tend to have a high It Just Works factor. I'm jumping back to Linux for a variety of reasons, some of which are admittedly political in nature (in my heart, I'm a big open technology partisan), but I'd still recommend the Mac+AppleCare combo to a lot of people who were laptop shopping.
dude, i got a dell too (my first, if you'll believe that) on friday! it hasn't gotten here yet. and i'll still be using my crappy CRT monitor with it for a while. but like, man, a computer that wasn't just thrown together with bits and pieces by well-meaning friends or relatives (like every single one of my others has been)... well... let's just say i'm kinda excited. :) even though it is a cheapo $300 Dimension. lol
