I have a crappy HP Supplied HP Probook 6460b which is a/ heavy /b big (for a 15" laptop) and c/ has a crap low-res screen.

If I had my choice I'd buy a new Apple MacBook Pro and maybe even add the retina display.

I haven't touched a laptop since I bought myself an iPad. Before that, Powerbook and iBook.

How strange! The guy just raised the sale price to $1295. It was only $915 this afternoon when i paid for it!

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sony-Vaio-F-Laptop-BACKLIT-16-4-i7-2-93Ghz-8GB-nVIDIA-GT-Win-7-Pro-/160710449173?pt=AU_comp_laptop&hash=item256b16d815#ht_5942wt_980

Anyway i have been using an Acer Aspire 5315 for the last 4 years. It cost me about $400 and was meant to be a temporary solution and 4 years later it is still my main computer. The thing has pretty much been switched on for 4 years non stop and still going strong! But it's now too slow to even run firefox or MS office so this is going to be a treat :)

Also i thought it was interesting to see what everyone else was using although i couldn't see any patterns. I thought it was going to be maybe Apple vs everything else.
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

Yeah, it's meant for desktop replacement, but if you can haul it around(and don't mind the weight) it's good on the go.
