If you want a wicked awesome computer, get the Macbook Pro. A medium-spec Macbook Pro at $2500 (with a lifespan of like five years*) is basically the same price as two cheap (about $1000) Windows laptops each lasting two-three years.

Interesting.... I have 1993 Packard Bell Laptop that i use every day for programing and i still run windows 3.11 for workgroups and it has lasted 1 years.

Anyway i would buy one of these:
