For a laptop, what would be some reasons to get one over the other? At the moment, I see that Mac's OS is a bit simpler aaaaaand iTunes?
Reason is I need to figure out if I'm going to be buying a Mac or PC.
GOGOGO!!!

OS X is Unix, so it comes prepackaged with Perl, Ruby, Python, among other scripting languages; has native SSH; etc. If that's all you're concerned about, I agree it's not the best choice, and you'd probably be better off getting a cheap laptop and slapping Ubuntu on it. If you don't mind spending a little more, though, MacBooks are a nice option because they're lightweight, look nice, and the OS has a great UI.[/quote]Correction / agree: OS X implements POSIX, and yes, is technically UNIX opposed to "UNIX-like". Agreed in that they're fine if not great in general for programming (not sure about glut though), because of the above.
