I'm thinking about buying a Mac (currently a Linux guy, but I like the Mac hardware).
Is this article accurate? Seems like many, possibly most, computer science people use Macs and have much love for them.

a kick-ass t400 can go for 50% less for a comparable configuration. wait around in the lenovo site for a 20% off deal. they're running them non-stop now. i have t40/t61/z60t and t400. love them all to pieces. one powerbook (my great blunder) sold on ebay :)
oh, i dropped the z60t on its side from a considerable height. (~ 4m) a bit of the plastic on the side flew off, the monitor became unhinged. i just popped everything back together, kept working. wouldn't try this with a delicate powerbook.
Seriously, I think its a matter of personal preferences.I am using my dell/vista 10-14 hours a day, restart maybe once a week/fortnight and have problems once in a while,
But hey, I am a developer myself, I know the process of software development too well to complain about anything sofware/hardware related. It's just the way it is.
And I think it's a bit lame to expect something that guarantees you flowless experience whatever you do. A computer is a bit more complex than a calculator. It gives you more power and more freedom and eventually more ways to break things.
