If you're talking about me, it's a Compaq (yeah yeah, same thing), and it was once ;-).

As for laptop, go for anything that has a serial port. Period. If you want something to RENDER movies and such, you're better off with a desktop, much more cost effective. However, if you're looking for a "one size fits all" solution, find the best laptop you can with a serial port. My friend got a Dell recently, only because it had a serial port. I, honestly, hate Dells, so that wasn't enough to persuade me, but if you're using it for a robotics laptop, it had better have a serial port on it, or else you may be in for lots of trouble.
