A bunch of my friends run tech support for a large university in Michigan.
Between the four of them they do tech support for faculty and run the help
desk. They all use iBooks and Powerbooks, and reccomend them to anyone who
asks. They are not Mac zealots, they use and support all kinds of hardware
and software, and swear by the Mac platform. They've spec'd out, set up,
used and repaired probably every type of laptop manufactured (The University
does not have a "Standard Hardware" policy) and they say they have far fewer
problems with Apple hardware than any other make.
Me, I'm saving up for the big-screen Powerbook :)
Even if you hate OSX, just run anything else you want on it :)

That doesn't include Yellow Dog linux, running natively, of course :)
