Normally I'm a Mac man: in my IT career I was exclusively Windows as I was a SQL Server administrator and developer, but I'm pretty much retired from that and now work in a university library. My wife is an astronomer and they're largely Mac as their IT core is exclusively Linux, so Macs simply interface wonderfully with their core infrastructure. I had a run of bad luck with laptops a few years between keyboards being mauled by dogs (couldn't be easily replaced as they were riveted in the chassis) and video card failures, and had a friend give me an Asus ROG with an i7 and 32 gig of ram! Very nice workstation. It could use a new keyboard, some keys are beginning to strobe or are becoming a bit unresponsive, I should look in to that.
