I may have related this story to you before but back around the turn of the century when I was looking to replace an aging out Vaio C1 subnote, I went around the Tokyo Linux User Group to see the state of things.
Was pretty surprised when all of them had Apple laptops for the BSDish layer. I over spent my budget, got a 15" G4 Powerbook just before 10.2 came out and havent looked back since.
