new laptop -- i need recs

[devohoneybee]

My thinkpad is starting to make "I'm old and creaky" noises, so I'm thinking it may be time for a new one. Also, my service agreement runs out in September. Several people have suggested getting a Mac, for, among other reasons, Vista avoidance. Here's my questions

-- If you were buying a new laptop now, what would you get?

For the Mac users, how hard is it to switch between Macs and pcs (which I would continue to use at work)?

Thanks in advance!

I have an old, small vaio that I also love -- it's maybe 7 years old and works fine for travel (not a lot of storage space), but I need something that WILL be my main computer. Thanks for the input!
