Is it worth switching to a Mac?
flashgordon: actually if you are not doing any iphone development (or mac development) i dont see the point.  i am on a dell inspiron (bought early last year) and is very solid.  running fedora 9, only log in to XP if i have to (around once a month)..  cost of hardware is lower (id say atleast 10%-20%) and you have a lot more freedom with what you can do without running into the JobsWall!  plus for webapps i can get it to mimic the production environment almost as is.Yes it is not as "cool" as a mac, but hey if I wanted my machine to look hot Id have gone into fashion design.
