I've been very happy with my MacBook Pro.

Since the hardware would primarily be used for developing Android, I think this is on topic.

My three year old Vista laptop does do well at complex builds in Eclipse, I'd just like to do more than one per day. ;)

What do you recommend for my next development laptop?

I really don't enjoy hardware shopping any more than car shopping. .

I have a vague idea that I want plenty of processor speed, plenty of memory, Solid State drive, and probably 15 inch screen. I do have a 17 inch screen now, and that was largely because I didn't even have an external monitor. Now it is docked to an external monitor most of the time, and is just too bulky when I actually do lug it somewhere.

This would probably gain me an hour of productivity every day, so I can afford to sink a 1-2,000 or maybe more.

I did have the idea of maybe getting a MacBook Pro, since it could do iOS development if I dabbled on the dark side, could possibly run Windows if I did some development on that side. Then again, getting a Windows Laptop and a Mac mini could also solve that problem.

I haven't really gotten into Linux for a personal computer, though I do have a remote server running Debian now.
