I have a laptop which is 12 kHz and has 1 MB of RAM.

I have one of those too, but I think most people call them calculators.

Does your calculator weigh like 15 lbs and have MSDOS installed? If not, then mine is superior!

schizoid contribution: I love my iMac but I feel like booting into Windows way too often (indie games, yeah). EDIT: there's always Crossover Mac, but there's also always the fact that it can't handle GameMaker surfaces and some other things.

I've got no experience with brands such as Rock (or Pegasus?) or Guru (or Fire?), but would be interested to know how they worked out for others.

What I've got is a Dell Studio 15 (for a bit more than one half of the Pegasus' price), it has some lower class Pentium Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz (T4200?) with an acceptable VGA (ATI HD 4570). Came with 4(!) GB's of RAM and 320 GB HDD (even though that was part of a summer offer). I can only say good things about it, even the crap that came with it as software was rather nonintrusive.

MSI notebooks are maybe not the prettiest, but they offer very good performance for their price.

Go mac! It's the best step I've ever done, at least. But then again, I edit video and draw a lot.

Indeed, I am typing on my U100 right now! I'm triple booting it. :D

160GB Non-SSD HDD: 25GB for XP, 25GB for Leopard, 15GB for Ubuntu, the rest as a shared HFS+ parition that all 3 OS's can see and edit. :D

Now that I have tried Mac first hand, I can see why you would suggest it. IMHO Mac is very nice to work in, I especially like "Spaces" that you can quickly swtich between desktop areas. I keep a 2x2 grid handy at all times and with a resolution of a MSI Wind (1024x600) I need all the extra room I can get for windows!
