After reading Dennis and Per's informed post,  I would agree 
wholeheartedly with their
recommendations.   Between the two of them, they have a lot more experience
with both of these platforms.

It's interesting to hear that the refresh cycle of common PC laptops is 
shorter than
for Macs.    That, in itself, has to be a very powerful mitigating piece 
of information.

The only thing I can think of that gives pause is that those PC laptops 
are a lot cheaper,
economically, speaking.     The price differential of a rompin' stompin' 
laptop these days
is about $500 - $1,000 from my current research.     But I also have 
only bought a 'state of
the art' computer once in my life and have always bought slightly 
trailing edge gear
in this realm due to my own finances.

Also, it sounds like you have the budget, so go for it.

Yeah,  bud.   Go with Dennis and Per's recommendations and good luck with
your looping!

yours,   Rick
