LapTop Suggestions?

I want to get a laptop for my birthday coming up.

Any suggestions?

Mostly will use it for my research for writing my books.

Also, need to be able to download my sewing programs off my DVR.

My desktop is a Dell.

I just looked at their website.

What is the deal about Vista? Is that a new kind of user system, opposed to DOS?

I've got a Dell laptop, and I like it. In fact, my PC is made by Dell too.

I got mine from Dell.com for small business. That was the only way I could get one with XP on it. At the time, Dell had stopped offering XP through their regular consumer sales division, but they went back to offering XP later, along with VISTA. As of today, VISTA is all you can get on a Dell. Looks like I won't be buying another computer for a good while because I won't use VISTA.
