Here are my suggestion if getting a laptop:

For Wintel laptops, get IBM. Or maybe Toshiba. But always go for IBM. If you're on a tight budget, don't even get a laptop until you have enough bling bling. You'll end up with a crappy one and wish you haven't bought it. IBM laptops are very durable. And their laptops are good overall.

Don't ever get Dell. Dell is cheap and of cos you're getting what you're paying for. Which is crap. If you have a Dell, try pushing the LCD (when it's up) to see if it shakes / wiggles. And try that on an IBM and see the difference.

If you have money, get a Mac. I heard that iBook G3 900mhz with maxed out ram are able to run UT2003 great. Also Photoshop (but photoshop is better on G4). iBooks aren't that expensive anyway. But Powerbooks are always better. If you're planning to get a Mac, don't get it now, wait till Apple puts Panther into their machines. Expose is so sweet.
