That really depends on your budget &c. The Toshiba Satellite Pro 410CS is a pretty good buy, and the new Sharp PC9000 looks good too. Both of these will set you back around $6K (australian) for a usable configuration. The biggest drawback with laptops is the displays - only the latest and most expensive have 1027x768; you're looking at over $8K to put one on the road.
