I think I'm going with a Dell. If it's good enough for John Cusack in 1408, it's good enough for me.

Seriously, though, I can get it cheaper than a Mac. and I've used them before and know they're reliable and easy.

The whole idea of going freelance is that I can go into business with relatively little overhead, so I like the idea of keeping this cost down. Maybe later when I'm raking in the coin, I can go to a better than entry level Mac.
