Apple makes great laptops as well. I have an iBook 1.2 GHz running 
Debian/PPC. All the apps you would run on x86 (minus WINE) are there.
For wireless, I use D-Link DLW-122. It's a USB wifi adapter. Very small and 
works nicely with Linux.
I hate MacOSX's interface :) Pretty, yes. But too limitted for what I use 
the computer for. Not a bad OS for grandparents though. Which is why I am 
eyeing this desktop myself :-)
