Intel are just about to launch their Centrino2 platform that should provide several benefits in terms of speed & power consumption. This means that all the manufacturers will be launching new laptops in July/August, and hopefully dropping the prices of their existing ones to clear out the stock.
I used to have a Sony laptop years ago, and it was very well made and reliable. However it was expensive for the spec.
I would also look at Dell, Toshiba and Asus. If I had to buy a 17" laptop today it would be the Asus M70.
