My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

Yes, OS X will continue to be such a selling point, even as Linux gets better.
Linux is a geek OS. When they are preparing it for the desktop, it is for the ENTERPRISE DESKTOP, not the HOME DESKTOP.
People complain about the application support on the Mac, on Linux it is even worse. No, we are not talking about the thousands of unix applications (mostly open source), which the average user has *ZERO* need or use for. Not to mention that so many of these applications are 'written for the authors' as has been explained oh so clearly during the usability arguments on this board amoung others.
The primary relevence that Linux has is for replacing low end servers currently running on big iron or MSFT. The Linux Zealots keep trying to insist that it's a much bigger deal than it really is. The trade mags do the same, just cause they are out of crap to write about.
