Just wondering what you guys are using atm? 
 
I'm using dual boot Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome 3 and Windows 7 
 
I use Ubuntu 90% of the time, Windows 7 just for games

Why would you not use an apple product? 
 
You can't have a proper opinion on it if you haven't even used it.

I have, and tbh there not great, there okay but there just okay. Id much rather spend my money on a way higher performance pc than something with a Flashy UI thats been made so kids can use it lol. 
 
 
All of apples products wether it be imac, iphone, mp3 players sell so well because of good advertising, if you take 10 mins out youl see that for same/cheaper price you can get alot better for money and performance. Also apple trying to take out the competition wtf is that filing law suits etc. Apple is a joke im glad steve jobs died for what he did

I'm well aware of the benefits and pitfalls, you don't seem to have a clue though.

I find Virtualbox is a bit quicker when running Snow Leopard compared to vmware; but it's a piece of piss to install eitherway. 
 
But Win7, OSX and Debian for dev work.

Why did you change my quote from 7 to XP?   
 
I'm pretty sure I know what operating system my laptop uses?

If this is what your talking about then i pitty you 
 
2GB DDR3 ram for 800 quid hahaha my shitter pc has 4gb ddr3 in! 
 
i5 at 1.6 mhz again.... rly low spec for money id be wanting at least 2.0ghz lol but why hasnt it got an i7 ffs lol.  
 
oh right the graphics cars has 256mb wow thats a really good value for money hahaha 
 
Obviously alot of fan boys of apple in here so im in the wrong place. 
 
Oh and for your cheaper alternative im basing it on £855 
 
http://www.beastcomputers.co.uk/build.php?systype=12&fsb=81 
 
Yes its 100 pound more but the delievery etc on the mac air was 50 quid. Dont accept to be brainwashed man ffs

What's the point in comparing a MacBook air with a PC?  Obviously you will pay a premium for a laptop, let alone an ultra thin laptop.
