After looking around A LOT more Ive narrowed it down to either Apple or IBM for the company even though Im not sure what type of IBM it will be. Both of them seem dependable and from what Ive heard are the best all around.

IBM has weight, battery life and durability ( I even heard a story about a military version stopping a bullet - which is a testament in itself ) going for it but I doubt it will be able to do too much photo editing with the ram and video cards that come in those things at the $1500 range (assuming I still get the bonuses - battery life... ).

The Apple Powerbook looks great. It basically has better specs in about the same package size but not quite as durable.

Either way I turn I can see myself spending $1500 pretty easily. Also, does anyone know about whether colleges do repairs on campus if you get it through the college or if a standard warranty be a better idea?
