???  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.
