I'm in a similar position: I use Linux (Ubuntu) for my development needs (I'm a computer engineering student), but I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Pro 13'' on a future trip to the U.S. (I'm from Europe, so buying it in the U.S. would save me money due to the current dollar value). However, I'm not sure if it's worth it, as I might work in security when I finish my degree next year, which might mean that I would mostly run Windows... Any laptops have very similar specs? I've heard that the newest Vaio SB overheats sometimes...

I'll be moving to a MBP when the next refresh hits from Ubuntu as well, and I plan on running Windows in a VM if I ever need to. I'm sick of having to deal with Linux's shitty support for iDevices, as well as the awful battery life.
