text: what is the best laptop to buy(here are my choices): apple, dell, and ibm. i not for sure which is the best.?   dell is the best as far as i am concerned for the pc platform, they also have to best warranty service which is definitely something you want when buying a laptop.  if you like macs i would go for the new macbook pro.   they come with the intel core duo chip, and can also run windows xp on it with the bootcamp.  excellent computer.  but beware apples are expensive compared to pc's.
