Re: New computer,what should I go for,mac,windows etc
@grryf:
That HP does look quite nice. And yes, the MBP will certainly last you five years, with upgrades. The processor is more recent on the other models, of course, but the MBP is still a good machine.
To be clear, this is your choice to make. As an Apple person, I hate watching the market flash past while Apple does sod all for extended periods of time. That doesn't change the fact that they're a good investment. In your position, I'd be highly torn ... and I imagine that's why you're asking. Honestly, I don't have an answer for you. I recommend the MacBook because I love MacBooks, and feel that a lot of Windows hardware is a little wanting in the design/robustness department. But you'll get more for your money if you go with the PC--that's an undeniable fact. Both of them run Windows, but only one runs OS X, and even though Macs make great Windows machines, in your position I'd be a little hesitant to out right go with t he Mac if you're only going to use Windows on it, because it is entirely possible that the HP will be a quality machine. It really just comes down to the hardware, and where you're willing to compromise.
It's over to you, really. I hope others can jump in here and provide a little more assurance, given you'll be using this machine for the next five years; seems like this choice is rather more important than is reasonably accommodated by personal favouritism.
Whatever you go with, good luck.
Edit: Monday is WWDC. You might hang on just a tiny little bit longer to see if better deals open up on Mac hardware.
