If CDDB is the only means of verification, then it's astonishingly easy to defeat.
I can do a CDDB lookup, get the response I am looking for (hello sniffer;-) and alter my local hosts file to spoof a CDDB site.

Perhaps this is what the RIAA fears, little user-friendly application to bypass the whole "rigorous" process of verification and download CDs using unlimited bandwidth and wasting no time with dead-end sites.

Opt for less power.
I think Gateway Solo computers are an excellent choice, and yes I worked with them. Sorry, I am not that fond of Dell Latitude, but maybe it's just me, I have over 500 of them here;-). Not exactly most compatible laptop out there.
The ideal way is to buy something about 2 steps below state of the art. It's usually considerably cheaper and just as good.
In reality, that ultra-high P3 power is simply not necessary. Unless you wanna do video editing (for which Sony VAIO would be ideal) on the fly, don't bother getting monster laptop.
I wouldn't suggest a low-end "consumer" laptop such as Compaq Presario, those are just plain unfit for the job.
If OS or computer system is not an issue, demo an iBook. Put Linux on it and enjoy the envious looks. I certainly want one, once they drop in price a bit, and I've never owned a Mac. Oh, and it has wireless networking capability by design.
Shop around, and do not get excess power. Do you really need that 8gb hdd in your laptop? I have one in my desktop and it's very heavily used and not nearly full, with 5 operating systems.
Remember that the more power - the more your battery will be drained. Sure the Vaios are supersleek, but their battery life is quite limited.
The screen size is a major issue... The 15" monsters do weigh a ton. I find 14" to be quite satisfactory, considering that I get near 100% viewable area. 13.3" used to be standard and they fit in economy class air flights, 14" will have harder time;-)
Before you purchase a laptop, read a lot of information, especially their support forums.
A little checklist
CPU - above 200mhz Ram - 64mb HDD - = 4gb USB - for wintel boxes if you plan to use Win 9x or Win 2000 Professional Winmodem - just say "No" to that garbage and get a normal 3com Megahertz 56K, perhaps with cellular capability. Upgradability - you don't upgrade a laptop except for hard disk which is removable and ram. Usually everything else is wired in. DVD-Rom - optional, but you might want it. I want one;-). If Linux DVD player project moves along smoother now that our lovely DVD CCA has drawn much attention to it, you would be able to utilize it. Compatibility - check for Linux support of the components prior to purchase. 90% of the time everything is already supported unless you purchase some utter junk.
Finally, it's been a while since I purchased a laptop, but I had to do quite a bit of research before recommending one.

Brand loyalty is tough to overcome, especially for the younger generation.
Case in point, I was in the market to shop for some electronics this month. Normally I am fiercely loyal to Sony, but this time it was different. As a result my DVD player is from Sampo and my TV is from Toshiba. Why? Because this DVD player doesn't have region restrictions, removes macrovision, plays MP3s, plays CD-Rs, has a Dolby Digital decoder built-in, plus it has component video and the 5.1ch outputs. The model number is Sampo 560E, if you are curious. I love Sony TVs, but I wanted component video on a 32" TV. Guess what, I was unable to find it on any Sony at Fry'z on display in reasonable price range! After some research, I found it on the ultraexpensive Wega series. My girlfriend didn't understand why I didn't pay any attention to the front of the set and why I didn't want to buy a higher priced model ($100 more for dual-tuner PIP or $300 more for "Cinema Series" with same tube;-). This is what I got http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J3R8/ 102-4633701-4903253. No, I didn't buy it there, as you can see it's out of stock;-)
That's a good example of brand loyalty. It took me a good hour to explain that the picture tube is the most important component and all the extra price is for people who don't understand that they do not need those features. Features like enhanced audio (which is handled quite nicely by my audio setup), favorite channels, v-chip (LOL), fancy remotes and the like.
I am actually extremely pleased with what I got. A 700+ line resolution screen, with component video... Believe me, the DVD playback is stunning:-). And I have that PIP if I use a VCR as a tuner (which is what most people do anyway if using digital cable). In my opinion it's a steal at $699. The model is CZ32V51. No, I do not care if I could buy it for less elsewhere and pay for shipping;-)
Speaking of sneakers, I'd found Nikes to be completely out of line with my design tastes. I can buy from an obscure brand and be far more happy. It's my shoes, so give me real leather and durability and no marketing-induced inflated prices. If anything, Rockport is my choice until I find something better.
Parents need to teach their kids that the purpose of network TV is to lie about the product's superiority and to consider other alternatives which are often indeed better. Have anyone actually looked how ugly those new designs are lately?

What we need is a self-installing linux distrubution geared for consumers.
Granted, most slashdot readers will have no need for such a thing, but I know many people who will. This morning I had to explain someone how to type in a URL in their browser:-). I ended up telling them a different way so that they saw what I meant.
As a matter of fact, that is what I am currently going to be working on now. Very slim distribution, most of the developer features left out, accenting rich multimedia and Internet support. I am not creating a yet another UNIX workstation that people will get lost in. I am not including servers that the consumers never need. I am not a developer, but a corporate network administrator. I see what desktop users are suffering with, and hopefully will be able to eliminate that.
You can flame me for creating a version of Windows NT (I can't call it 9x for the life of me, it doesn't crash:) for home users, but the reality is that we have such a huge market of people waiting for something easy.
Wouldn't it be nice to avoid installing something as complex as S.u.S.E just to play a game? I'd say all I really need for that purpose is well-designed X desktop, abundance of easy to select up to date drivers, easy to configure multimedia support, a web browser (possibly StarOffice as well, an option), and basic TCP stack. Can I fit this under 100mb? Definitely. Can I avoid packaging LaTeX and the like? Yes. Do I really need Fortran 77 on a home machine for a 15 year old kid? Probably not. Do I want the user to recompile a kernel? Unlikely.
I am probably reinventing the wheel here, but if it helps to get 1 more user away from daily crashes, I'll be satisfied. I know that Caldera is going this way, but I was very dissatisfied with it when I took the point of view of a user.
The beauty of Linux for experts is the infinite tweakability. The horror of Linux for newbies the infinite tweakability. Microsoft saw this the right way when they were developing a user interface. Sorry, I am not an operating systems zealot, and all flames in that regard shall be gracefully ignored.:-)
I don't expect the Slashdot community to use this product, but I think it would be nice if I could just automatically resize a user's hard disk to give me about 100mb space (mostly for swap file), plus additional size required by game, OEM option, deploy a disk image, and boot it and then prompt the user to insert a game CD and have them playing. This is possible today, and I think if I can persuade a user that you can play a Linux game like you used to play DOS games, by rebooting to DOS prompt and running a batch file, they'll go for it.
Do we really need things as basic as login security at home? Do I really need to enter a password just to play a game?:-) Think about it, I want to take the stability and flexibility of the Linux platform and basically make it Mac-like friendly. The awesome power doesn't have to be vividly displayed, it can often be as effective when not in plain sight.
I would do a simple detect: if kernel not found on any partitions, present the "Install" dialog. If found, boot it etc...
I think that people would like this, the source would obviously be GPL'ed and included on CD.
Updates will be available at a distribution point and NOT broken unlike some distributions.

IE has a nice feature.

I have no clue why it's not turned on by default.
Open your Internet Options, go to Advanced and select "Browse in new process" for IE4, and "Launch browser windows as separate processes" for IE5.
