Choosing a notebook

Hello,
I have already some experience in Suse Linux and would like to try myself on
Debian. I plan to buy a Notebook in near future and just can't decide what
combination would go best with Debian:
1. Some people tell me to buy a Mac and make 2 partitions, but Macs are
expensive and I'm not sure if they are as good as the Mac advocats claim
them to be. Does it matter for Debian wether it runs on PC or Mac?
2. I rather thought to buy a PC, but can't decide which company to choose.
Does anyone know a company that has an open source friendly corporate
philosophy, good Hardware and a nice price?
3. I would like to have my Notebook with integrated WLAN 802.11 a/b/g,
Bluetooth, IEEE 1394, Digital Camera Memory Stick Reader, integrated digital
camera...can Debian handle it? Is the configuration of it all complicated,
or does Debian recognize them automatically?
4. My Lexmark X1150 (wasn't a good choice) isn't Suse compatible. Are there
recomendable printer/scanner combinations that would work with Debian and
not waste too much money for inc? Is a printer/scanner combination
recomendable?
5. Does a Dual-Core-Processor make a difference?
I thank you in advance,
Thomas Sowa
