[thelist] iBooks, OS X, Macs, Web Development, Laptops, Etc,Etc

[Josh Nolan]

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100.

I run .NET Framework, PHP, mySQL, Perl, ASP, Apache & IIS on it without any
trouble. It just chugs along. Its not the lightest notebook, but I was not
going for some pansy light machine anyways. I wanted something powerful to
do development and multimedia work on.  I have been looking at the G4
Titanium notebook. Very nice. But I don't know if I would use it as a
development machine. Think the only software that would touch that one would
be Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator and maybe a few other graphic titles. I
have had this laptop for almost 6 months. Works great, does the job and
keeps me moving on my work. Plus it takes the work load I throw at it pretty
well and I do a ton of web development on it. Not too expensive either.
