As per the notebook situation, here is my experience with the aforemention companies.
Acer notebooks - stay away from them.
Dell, have had multiple experiences - 9 good, 1 bad. The one bad was from a buddy who mistakenly purchased the extra warranty thinking it would cover everything, it doesnt cover batteries - and as such he is now stuck with an averaged powered desktop with a small screen
Mac - really depends on what you want from it. Remember that alot of websites will require WMP or the like. Macs are Macs, they kick a$$ on the design of any IBM compatible comptuers, but it does take a while to get used to the OS if you were brought up in the Windows era.
I guess as always, the old saying "you get what you paid for" is true in every facet of life. If you pay 699 for a notebook, dont expect the same reliability as a 699 desktop.
My personal preference would be for either a Dell/Toshiba/Sony/Mac.
