People will disagree with me but so what.
Dell business class machines have a low failure rate. Windows 7 Pro is available in a 64 bit and 32 bit version. I have the 32 bit a work for compatibility reasons. Seems to run most things without issue. I have had to use compatibility mode to get one or two programs to install. If I were you I would get a business class laptop and the professional version of windows.
Main thing to know about todays laptops is lithium Batteries last about a year and go from fine to stone dead in a matter of weeks.
Home owner grade machines have less cooling capacity and lower end components. I recommend business class machines and a 3 year warranty if it fails after the 3 years its time for a new one anyway. If you travel with the laptop get accidental damage coverage I've used it for everything from water damage to one that was ejected in a car wreck.
Every manufacturer has built some turkeys especialy in the laptop arena. HP has built more turkeys in the business class than I have seen from Dell in the same class.
This is my opinion based on real life experience with business class machines. Your mileage may vary!
