In my work I deal with Macbooks and IBM/Lenovo thinkpads on a daily basis. The Thinkpads are sooo SLOOOOW compared to equivilent spec machines. Sure, they're robust and your can pretty much trow them out of a moving car and they still work...but trust me....they are slow. I don't know why, but I manage about 25 R50's and a couple of R60's and each one is very sluggish and slow compared to even older spec'd machines....from new out of the box. Also, their screens only go up to 1024x768 resolution which is pretty limited these days.
Being an Apple fan, I would of course highly recommend the MacBooks (or Pro), but if you are tied to Windows (which the new Macs also run), I'd be looking at Acer's, HP's or Compaq's.
Edit: Oh and by the way.....if you are scared of Mac OS X.....it is a beautiful and easy to use operating system. It doesn't take long to master...and once you switch....its hard to go back.
