    I just tested. Extensively. It was an unplanned test.

        My HP elite book did more than that. It survived a full cope of coffee nasty event. But I would rather say that I got lucky not that HP Elite books are coffee/water proof. :)

        All the best, Dan

          Can you have an extensive splash? :laugh: What kind of IP protection[^] are we talking here?

              Which one do you have? Air? Pro? Are you using it with Fusion or Parallels to do your Windows dev, too? If so, how do you like it? Any gotchas, or things you hate? Are you using an SSD? How much RAM do you have? K, I'm done. ;)

                  Deep breath... Pro 15" Parallels is installed, but currently I just remote into my windows machine for dev work The keyboard layout sucks. Fn + function key to send a function key, plus no page up/down, Home/End, and right-clicking is hit and miss, even with the wireless Magic Mouse (which I absolutely love except when it accidentally scrolls me away - which is often enough) HDD, and 4GB It's not what you would call portable (at least not compared to the Toshiba R705 I used to have, or the Acer Aspire One I also use) but the screen is stunning (gloss, not the high res anti-glare). I would have gone for he larger anti-glare screen but there's no way in OSX to set the font size globally. Everything is teeny tiny if the screen res is too high. I got the Mac because we have iPhones, an iPad and an AppleTV and use iPhoto and iTunes to coordinate our iLives. It's just neater having a Mac coordinate things (especially photos through iPhoto). A PC or laptop with iTunes would work just as well, sans photos, but I'm also totally over the beigeness of current laptop offerings - though the Samsung series 9 is tempting, but way too pricey. The other thing is that a Macbook on the living room dining table looks nice. Other laptops look like, well, other laptops.

                    I tend to avoid HCl in the morning. It was actually Orangina. The first cold thing I found in the fridge. Those pesky slippery glass bottles!

                      Cool - thanks for the info, especially about the font size/screen res. I'm this close --><-- to purchasing an MBP to do my dev work, so I've been seeking the opinions of other Windows users (particularly devs).

                              Have you decided yet? I'm looking for the exact same opinions myself right now (Thread: MacBook Pro or Lenovo Thinkpad[^]) and wonder whether you reached a conclusion?

                                I bought the 15" MBP with the matte display. I haven't yet installed Windows 7 / VMWare Fusion, so I can't comment on Windows development with it, but I'm really digging OS X so far. Really, for me, it was about broadening my horizons. I can now do iPhone/iPad/Mac development. Plus, there's something cool about having UNIX running underneath it all. :)
