Right now Dell has a good distance on others in laptops.
The Inspiron 9300 is an amazing machine. 17" screen, great processor, good battery life, not bulky or overly heavy and looks awesome with the optional snap on color lids.
If you get the extended warranty, the machine will keep a much better value as well since it's transferrable.
Look for a online coupon, Dell frequently does 30% off coupons. Get the best video card available, since it's practically the only thing you can't replace. Stay minimum on the RAM and purchase it yourself, Dell charges like almost $400 for what you can buy for $200 and put it in yourself (a monkey can put in RAM). Also, you want either a 7200rpm HD or a 100+gb 5400rpm or you'll lose a good bit of performance.
The only negative I can think of it's not a full sized keyboard. I like numberpads but I can do without it...
