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

Personally, I prefer to buy quality things and hold on to them for years,
until they are worth nothing. As opposed to buy cheap things more often...
I'm looking at the HP dv7t. You can equip it similar in spec to the mac
plux a blue-ray and 320 (2x160) gig drive for about $2000. I've generally
