From my experience, and a longtime PC user at that

Thinkpads = sturdy. so sturdy. just.built.well. Even the old ones can hold their own. Install linux and not worry about windows (try breezy badger -->ubuntu 5.10) and it should install all your drivers automatically.

Macs? I just got an 15" iBook G4 four months ago. I never had a bias against apple before, but just never had the $ to purchase one.
My experience with it is thus: it just works. Software is intuitive. No weird driver issues. No weird spyware issues. No weird wireless issues. The battery lasts longer than my pc laptop. I open it up and it works. I close it and it goes to sleep.
Its white, but hasn't gotten dirty surprisingly.
Go figure. I like it enough that my next system will probably be an apple laptop or imac. Nuff said?
