Earlier quoted context omitted.

then why did you even respond? the question was "what Linux laptops do you use for development?", not "how many of you are mac fanboys?"

My guess is the same reason I felt compelled to click on the link. OS X is the best desktop Unix experience I have ever had. It has all the tools I use, all the power underneath, and it comes wrapped in a pretty pretty wrapper. Linux to me has become a loose term for any Unix. I've heard it used to refer to any of the BSD's, Solaris, and even OS X.

You don't develop on laptops. This is not what they are built for: they slow, keyboards are not capable of decent typing speed and screens are tiny. Stop trying to look hip and get yourself a workstation.

How is Linux at supporting dual monitors?
