Asus G55VW, classified as a gaming laptop. I do not game.

- 15.6 inch screen on 1920 x 1080, 16GB of RAM, excellent cooling and noise control.

- Windows 8/Ubuntu.

The only regret so far is not getting the 17 inch model.

How about you share your configuration as well since you started the discussion? :)

This is almost exactly me, except I have the 17-inch model.

Also dual-boot Ubuntu/Win8, though Win8 is just for games they don't have for linux. I'm a developer and 95% of time is spent in linux.

I find my 17-inch model is a little too large sometimes--barely fits in a backpack. But it's worth it when I sit down to code.

I think portability is the reason why I opted for the 15-inch model originally, but in the end it seems that I don't carry it outside that much. However, I can assure you that you made the right decision if you're using it for work/programming, it was a bit difficult at first to get used to such a high resolution on a 15-inch screen.

Currently I'm using an Asus N56VM as my main computer, using Windows 7 along with Arch Linux. The laptop is really cool, have an i7 with 8 gigs of ram and has a 1920x1080 screen.

Thinking about buying an 27" imac nowadays. Mainly for ios development.
