Say what you will, those ThinkPad T series are awesome...

The Sony laptops are nice too, but only 512MB of RAM max?! How wimpy...

Laptops I would go with IBM or Toshiba.

Desktops I would go with Dell before, but not anymore... They are such cheap plastic pieces of crap now.

I know that Rhapsody and OPENSTEP run great on my ThinkPad, so I would go with IBM. My only problem is that pretty much every PC today is sold with a Windows license (which would mean me basically paying for something I would never use).

No, the point is to figure out which PC clone company you think is the best or if you're so much of a mac fan that you would never use a pc. A third option ruins the poll

Why? There are other operating systems out there, and it doesn't change the differences between the PC hardware makes. So why Windows only?
