Apple MacBook Pro — 

About a year ago I start a new job in which our development environment is the Mac Book Pro. In my previously life I had been a pretty hard core Linux guy -- I only used Windows when I had to. Moving to the mac platform has been a joy. Having the best of breed user interface coupled with a real command prompt is paradise.

The Mac just seems more natural. You have what you need and it is simple and straight forward. No more struggling with the package maintenance headaches that come with Linux or the frustration of Windows inconsistencies and brittleness. I can run my Mac Book Pro at work all day, work on the train ride home, and then do fun musical stuff in the evenings -- and it's all portable.
