I'm not too sure if you are going to do programming on Mac. As far as I know, programming languages are suitable for nearly all platforms, but the programs created may or may not suited for all platforms.
If the programs created are meant for Windows, you better be sure that the programs can be ran on Windows. In that case, I would choose a laptop pre-installed with Windows.
As for what laptop to choose, I would choose Sony, but please upgrade the RAM. 512MB for programming is considered the minimum these days. It can crash a PC if there are errors in the program. Mine did (doing Java and VB by the way).
Toshiba is a no-no. Their customer service sucks great time and is generating enough heat to be a heater. My classmates can testify, I use their laptops as heater in the super cold RP classroom.
Dude... Mac supports intel...
Meaning intel with windows on mac ?
Programming...
You doing what programming ?
Visual Studio's basic ?
Or Java ?
PErl ?
Or Oracle ?
If you want, you might consider asus or fugitsu,
Asus for cheap but a gurantee MB,
Fugitsu for if u love 3 yrs warrenty and made in japan.
If u don matter about brand,
Get a Core 2 Duo cause the new Architechture of the processor runs faster then current desktop replacement anyway...
Don need graphic card then a lot of choices available..
Get at least 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo and get a 2 X 512 533 ram will be enough.
Brand wise,
Sony has qaulity but the money paid are for the words Sony
If u don mind on money
Please look at HP, it has wat u need =)
