Open Question: Can you help me pick a laptop?

I want to start thinking about my next laptop. I have a Dell XPS M1535 and I really don't love it. I'm not a gamer, but I have many memory-intensive apps open at the same time. If the system would allow it I would have Adobe PS, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver all open along with Firefox, which has terrible memory leaks if you use any plugins. Between all this I need a decent processor and a lot of memory. Macs would be great in theory but are out of the question because of the lack of software. The i5, i7 processors look appealing but they are so new, I don't know if they run hot and/or have other drawbacks, and I'm tempted to wait for the next generation of i7s. Given this usage pattern would you say I should look for a gaming computer? I don't seem to fall in the normal classes (business user, gamer), so often not sure what to look for. There's a new Sony VAIO with an i7 processor that looks kind of appealing. Well, any lines or model suggestions appreciated. Last few times I just bought a laptop without much thought, and this time I want to do better.

Open Question: My keyboard will not type under certain IDs?

My keyboard will type when my kids are logged in but will not type when I am logged in under my ID. I have tried programs as well as Firefox and IE. I am sure a program or service is interfering with it but how can I figure out which one it is? The control panel keyboard test says it is working properly. Thanks!

Open Question: Internet Explorer works, but Firefox does not work. What is the problem?

Internet is connected, but the only Internet using-software that works is Internet Explorer. Firefox, Sleipnir, utorrent and many other applications don't work. I don't use any of that proxy stuff and I don't know what the cause is. Thanks for reading and please consider helping me!
