I had to help someone with a Vista Laptop recently and I was pretty dismayed with the setup and responsiveness. Unhappily my wife also had it put on her desktop and a machine, reasonable under XP, now crawls along. There is no guarantee at all that software and devices that work in XP will work in vista. I think it is well known that Vista has been pretty much a disaster for Microsoft which is why it has been speeding up the release of Windows 7. Others on this list have reported that Windows 7 is a great improvement over Vista.
Given the imminence of Windows 7 coming out, later on this month in the UK I think, I would suggest you avoid Laptops with Vista and wait a little while for ones installed with Windows 7 to come out.
