Talk to MacBook Pro people. Tell what you enjoy most and least about yours. Even the best items have cons.
Cost and limitations on expansion are my biggest beefs.

But the speed, stability and quality stands out. Using Fusion means that anything that is "Windows only" I can handle. Additionally, the current OS (OS X) satisfies my need for both decent GUI as well as decent commandline (since it's based off of the BSD/NeXT variant). That means I can likely use a lot of the GNU/GPL software as well as off the shelf software.

The one thing I'd ask is what do you need your laptop to do? How do you use yours or how would you use it?
