Well, personally, I recommend Mac laptops - tremendous hardware, and
they're BSD unix underneath. And it's easy enough to run pretty much
any Linux or BSD distro under a hypervisor - at near native speed.
I typically have Parallels running, with a Windows VM running (for
Quicken and Visio), keep a couple of terminal windows open running BSD
stuff, and when I'm doing development, I might have a couple of Linux or
BSD, or even MacOS VMs running (who wants to risk polluting one's
primary computer with experimental code). Meanwhile, I'm typically
running Office, a browser, and email under MacOS.
A fully loaded MacBook costs a little more - but they last a long time
and provide the best of all worlds. (And AppleCare support is great,
particularly when you need to replace a hard drive. My new box has a
1TB SSD - so I don't expect to need a drive replacement anytime soon -
and it just screems.)

My Windows laptop is showing its age. I'd like to have a
Linux laptop for the Ashland sprint.
Any suggestions for a relatively powerful /quiet/ Ubuntu laptop?
