If money is no object, get a Mac. Just keep in mind that the least expensive 15" Macbook Pro costs $1800. I won't even mention the 17" model. At least the latest pricing gets you a Core i5 - Apple has caught up on hardware specs.
You are paying $1000 more for better physical design, a very pleasing look, and what most would say a better OS.
Some of the Windows compatible manufacturers are making decent quality laptops nowadays. My company bought me an HP 4520s Business class, and though dreading another HP, it is not bad. It is a modern design with chicklet keyboard, nice case design, and good spec. Dell and Sony have similar designed units.
One thing I hate about many of the Windows boxes (especially on the low end) is the cheap glossy cases - drives me crazy. Go into Best Buy and look - nearly all of them are so glossy that as soon as you open the lid the first time, you get finger prints all of them. They look nasty after just a few uses.
Good luck!
Rob
