[Note: I've been reading here for a while but I haven't posted before, so I apologize for making my first post a self-centered request...]
I'm currently laptop shopping, and can either pick up Thinkpad T61 or a Macbook Pro (pre-Penryn refurb) for roughly the same price. I've always liked the Thinkpad keyboard and sturdiness, but a lot of people I respect seem to be migrating to Macs. It would be nice to buy a computer and not have to install a new OS right away, but I worry that I'll break the MBP.
I'm a college student and greenhorn programmer, so I'd love to hear your advice or experience.
