I decided on the Macbook with an upgrade to 2gb ram, and it was an excellent choice, and I have no regrets.

Regarding running lots of applications at once, not a problem, I usually run a myriad of programs while I am on the computer: Firefox, Zend Studio, Itunes, Adium, Word...without any lag whatsoever.

The only thing that I need (especially while programming) is an external monitor, which I plan on purchasing next week. So if you are planning on getting a lappy, keep that in mind....

Now, I am not a big fan of OS wars. I think they are pointless. Just go with what you want and what is in your budget...

Any ides what specs i should look for (based on what i do) in a pc?
