[vox] Looking at Laptops

[Richard Crawford]

I'm now pondering a new laptop, and need some advice.  The basic
requirement, of course, is that it needs to be dual-bootable -- I'm facing
the reality that much of what I'm going to need for school is going to
only be available in Windows, but I want Linux because it's better. 
Whatever flavor of Linux I go with on my laptop (I'm familiar with Red
Hat, but more than willing to explore other distros at this point as
well), the laptop will need to talk happily with my Red Hat desktop
computer.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Any good stories?  Horror stories? 
Brands/models I ought to avoid, or that I ought to give serious
consideration too?  Price is a consideration, of course -- if I can spend
less than $2500, I'll be happy.
