The macbook pro is going to be the best option, but don't get it if you need compatability, or can't afford a copy of windows xp in addition to that (macbooks can run xp). Toshiba's got some nice looking multimedia notebooks, and if you're not on a tight budget, so does Alienware. Honestly, people will tell you computer "x" is the best, but it's a matter of personal opinion. Just get something you can afford, and does what you want it to.

If you had unlimited funds, you would have probably already bought that very expensive Macbook.
If you are asking about the best value for your dollar, I would suggest a middle of the line Toshiba laptop - they have good performance for media playback and are very reliable with good resale value when you upgrade to your next laptop. Very often you can sell these 2 or 3 years later for very close to what you paid. The really high performance ones really loose their value quickly.
If you are only watching movies, writing papers, and listening to music, any laptop will do it. Don't get talked into spending thousands to buy a high end "fast" machine when you don't need it. A standard 15.4" widescreen with an Intel Core Duo or AMD Athlon 64 on sale after rebate will run you around $750. The smaller 14" and 12" models are lighter but more expensive.
I'm sure those Macbooks are great and have a lot of "WOW" factor, but a good PC laptop will do the job for a fraction of the price. Watch the Sunday ads and find a nice Toshiba!!
Good Luck.

the macbook pro is a great computer, but it is very expensive, I bought a macbook and its amazing, but if you do make videos you definitely want a mac for iMovie and iDVD
