    I’m using a Lenovo T60 14″ with 3GB RAM and and Intel Core 2 Duo 2.3 ghz. I use XP Pro 32-bit (SP2). I have a 320GB Western Digital HDD which contains my copy of Virtual DJ and few utilities on one partition and all my music on another. It runs fast and quiet, though the HDD gets warmer than I’d like, considering it’s on a stand.

    I like ThinkPads – I’ve used them for years at work and they can take the pace. As a result, my backup machine – and the one I use for downloads while I’m playing – is a T60 with a 15″ screen, 2GB RAM and a 7200rpm 60GB Hitachi HDD. I also take an external Western Digital 320GB with a mirror image of the music on the main one, which I keep up to date using Allway Sync http://www.allwaysync.com/ which is indispensible to me now. I also keep a second backup of all my music on an older Samsung 320GB HDD. Bit of a belt-and-braces job. That one never leaves my study!

    I have Lenovo Y580 with 32gb SSD and 1TB HDD 🙂 its nice, was a lot cheaper than macbook, it has 8GB ram, i7 processor, 2GB of virtual memory(nvidia GTX 660M), 4 usb ports(2 of them 3.0), backlit keyboard, about 5 hours battery life, HD screen 1920×1080 and its pretty good build

    touchpad could be better but since I use mouse primarly, its not a big issue..

    Mine is a MacBook Pro 13″ mid-2009. Favourite thing? Build quality. Least favourite? Screen size (I’d like 15″ for my poor bespectacled eyes).

    You?

    15″ 2009 Macbook Pro. 2.6 Ghz, 4 Gb RAM, 320 GB storage (Soon to be upgraded to 8 GB RAM and SSD storage)
    Best part: Paid $400 for it, is everything I hoped for and more
    Worst part: Other than not having SSD, pretty much perfect

    Dell Latitude E5520, i5-2520m @ 2.5 Ghz, 1080p screen, 8gb RAM, 240gb SSD, 4 x USB 2 ports and HDMI out. It boots to Windows in around 10 seconds and I’m considering sticking a back lit keyboard in it at some point. It’s fast, sturdy, reliable and runs fairly cool. Plus the 4 USB 2.0 ports add extra win.
