Throw Vista away.
On CNBC this morning, there was a segment on Vista and the guests to a
person said Vista is an unmitigated diaster and may be a sign of the
begining of the end for Microsoft as a market leader.

I just spoke with a Toshiba representative about their laptops. They're
selling many with XP instead of Vista, and it's possible to get them that
way right now. No extra charge, of course. The Satellite X205-SLi5 looks
interesting.

I researched Lenovo and they seem to have an excellent track record
selling and servicing to business users. They recently have set up an
educational division. My son's new school offers Dell, Apple and Lenovo
at an educational discount. When i asked the manager of the Computer
sales dept at my son's school, which PC he would recommend he said they
had substantially less problems with Lenovo.

Just beware of their memory sockets. They have had problems with them
failing and it costs too much to get the sockets replaced. You just run
the laptop on 1/2 of your memory until you can't stand it anymore and
then you purchase a new laptop from some other manufacturer.
