Price-->performance-->options-->portability I would say go with a macbook. If you need native speed for adobe apps then you can use boot camp and install XP and boot into it when needed. Macbook is the best of both worlds for a...

Seeing that you need a laptop for school I would recommend a macbook. They have the 2ghz core 2 duo, up to 2gb ram, 80gb hard drive, 13.3" so its very portable, good battery life, dvd dual layer burner, and the reliability of OSX...

I am going to be purchasing a Dell Latitude D620 from a forum member in a few days (should be tomorrow actually). I am going with it because it is portable, has dedicated video, and because it has the core 2 duo. Going with the core 2...

If you are going for Kubuntu than you should probably look at Mepis and Knoppix also. Knoppix is one of the original (if not the original) live Linux distros and it has excellent hardware detection. Mepis is basically a really good Linux...

I can personally highly recommend Ubuntu. I have used RedHat from version 6 all the way up to Fedora 5 and I have loved Ubuntu and its variations. The apt package management and the automatix software that you can use with Ubuntu make...
