Amen to that, KS. I have to use an i7 Mac Pro every Saturday and it drives me insane, the workflow is just horrible with the Mac OS. 64-bit Windows 7 Pro is my Operating System of choice, and can be had for around $120 shipped on ebay (for the OEM version).Originally Posted by KillinSpoon
Btw, that's a huuuuuge budget for a new laptop considering you haven't mentioned modern gaming as a necessity. Intel's new Sandy Bridge CPU architecture is meant to be much faster than the i5/7 range so I'd go for one of them. This site should be able to help you find exactly what you need: http://apcmag.com/notebookhunter/index.htm
EDIT: Oh and if you do go down the Windows path again, use Microsoft Security Essentials as your anti-virus. It's free and oh-so-awesome.
