Windows Laptop

Mac OS X is a fantastic operating system, but I cannot use it for accessing our corporate bank account at work, nor for synchronizing my contacts between Salesforce.com and my phone. My past experience with Virtual PC was enough to convince me than any solution other than a native one would be the shortest path to ultimate frustration, so I finally decided to get a Windows laptop, and because I might have to carry it alongside my MacBook Pro, I opted for something very light: the Sony VAIO VGN-TX790P. At 2.76 lbs with standard battery, it’s really hard to beat.

But if you have a MacBook Pro, why not just use Parallels to run XP? It’s native, unlike Virtual PC, and really fast!

Fear that some drivers might not work, mainly.
