I like the direction Vizio is going, but I've heard that the trackpad is horrible.
I'll answer the question with a question: If you have, say, 30,000 photos all stored in iPhoto, and you want to remove all those 30,000 photos out of iPhoto into normal folders such as you have in Finder. Sure, you can drag and drop each photo, but how do you do that for 30,000 photos? Say you're sick of Apple, and want to switch to Microsoft (just for argument's sake, not trolling), how do you do that?
For me I'd have to say the yet-to-be-released 2013 Amiga 1000 from Commodore USA....(this pic is from their Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/CommodoreUSA?fref=ts )
I'm a big fan of the HP Elitebook series. They aren't as nice as MBPs, but they are definitely solidly built, and a great value for the money.
Here's my work laptop, an Elitebook 9470m "Folio" 14". It's the perfect size, a dream to use, even has a rubberized lid in case you're carrying it without a case
