I am not looking for fancy looking Vaio or mini lightweight HP… I am just looking for the most powerful. I would need widescreen screen. the size is not a matter. I need a laptop for the only purpose of developing softwares while i am on the road.
Well, definitely not a Mac. i work with Microsoft Dinosaurs. Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008, Silverlight (and all it toys), Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks. Mostly those.

It all depends on what you are developing. For what market, platform etc. I personally like Macs for development. They are easy to setup and get going on and have a lot of functionality. I would look at a mac book pro. I use a macbook for web development, C++ and java development.

MacBook Pro, runs Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux all extremely well, Apple uses the best hardware available, you can get it currently with up to a 2.8 GHz intel Core 2 Duo, and standard configurations come with 4GB of RAM.
If you register as an apple developer connection select member you can also save a significant amount of money on your system, and at the same time get pre-release software and a full new version of OS X each time a new version is released, during your membership period.
