Whatever you choose, it NEDS to be an intel based processor. Leopard and xCode4 are preferred.

Ok Thanks for the input. Since the company is footing the bill. Only the best... :) Nah.... most likely will go with the MacBook Pro... Prefer the laptop. Dual boot it and run Windows also. Thanks again....

Macbook Pro is a great laptop. I use one and also a Mac Pro desktop. I've had a mac mini and iMac before. All great machines. You can't go wrong unless as @Dkeller said, you don't get an intel based Mac.

They are all terrific machines. Even if you were to go with a Mac Mini, you would do great. You can't go wrong!!

I recommend macbook pro for the mobility. A great machine. Make sure you have enough ram memory.
