Have you looked at the Apple store with educational discount? You can get a very nice 800MHz iBook with 14" display for an excellent price. OS X makes a superb laptop OS - the power management is great, you can run Office.X if you need the compatibility, Virtual PC pretty much takes care of the dual-boot issue, and to connect to Windows machines Microsoft has released a very nice Remote Desktop Client.
