If you do any development get a mac, I wish I'd switched sooner. I always had issues with Rails using a PC. Then I tried the same tutorials on a friend's macbook and they just worked saving tons of time. Virtual machines on windows had issues, just work on OSX, windows terminal meh. I can't imagine going back.

I use a 13" macbook air it has plenty of power/screen size for development so you don't have to go top of the line. (You can add an external monitor for less than $200, asus monitor $150, $10 thunderbolt to hdmi cable on Amazon). You can get a 13"MBair refurbished or on sale at best buy for $849 right now.
