I think the coolest notebook are Sony Viao's

They are very thin and lightweight and they do have some resale value later.

It really depends what you are going to do with it.

Is is a desktop replacement or just a travel pc?

-Wireless networking can be nice for someone who is in a city that has wireless internet.

-Notebooks are slower than regular PC's due to size and power restrictions. Everything is intregrated lowering performance.

-Battery life is an issue with notebooks. Best to get a notebook with a large Lithium ion or nickle metal hydride battery. 4000mah at least

-Some notbooks have overheating problems and burn your legs and lap when you put it on there.

If I knew more about what your computing needs are I could be more specific.
