Wow, the flaming starts early. Give me a break guys, I'm new.
All I want is a computer that won't slow down to a choke when I'm opening more than 5 Firefox tabs, uploading files to my FTP server, have Excel, Word, multiple desktops, running my in house apps, listening to gangsta rap bootlegged mashups on iTunes while charging my iPhone; etc. etc. Most of you know how it do.
You can't do that on a Celeron son.

Get a mac and you'll love it.
FTP: Transmit and Coda
Excel: iWork Numbers
Word:Bean
iTune works pretty fast on a mac, a lot more faster than on the PC.
Not sure what you mean about multiple desktops but there's a featured called "Spaces" built in a mac which I use a lot and love it.
For in house applications, if you have to use windows, use VMware if it's windows based.
And one of my macs which I use daily for almost two years, is still very fast.
Opening 5 firefox taps all at once is nothing, I usually have 20+ opening, no lagging at all! Make sure you get 4GB ram though.
You're not new to computers if you know what "in house apps" are. Anyways, I'd get something better than a Celeron, but the newer ones should now be powerful enough for what you listed, even with Windows. Things like video games and video editing would require more power.

So dope. Gonna have to buy an extra plane ticket to fly with that thing.
what are you talking about, you come on here asking for our advice on laptops and multiple people have recommended a mac, but now you don't want their advice? we don't recommend them for price, it has the best operating system, top hardware (including 2 graphics cards, both of which can be used for parallel computing with OpenCL - name a windows PC that can do that right now) and support. if you're going to be a douchebag and just ignore or blow off our suggestions (which we have been nice enough to give when you asked), you can fuck off
