I know this is an odd place to ask, but I'm looking for perspective on an internal debate. Get and HP laptop because its cheaper and run linux with a windows VM? Or get a macbook pro and virtualize windows & linux? I've eliminated other laptops for various reasons. I was settled on the HP but reconsidered. In fact if they were the same price or close, I wouldn't hesitate to get the mac. Thanks, Josh -- Josh | josh@computeristsolutions.com | http://computeristsolutions.com
