I just had to pass this along...
My 2-year-old MacBook Pro has become the best R&D computer I've owned.
With 8 GB of RAM I can run VMs as needed.
With EasyDraw I can create drawings for technical publication that are much easier to understand than my CAD files.
With OmniGraph Sketcher I can create gorgeous and oversimplified graphs to get points across more easily.
I can't speak highly enough of these two apps for scientific presentations/publications.
With SciLab, Sage and Octave I have Matlab and then some.
With Gimp and Pixelmator I have all manner of image processing.
Sorry to pine so pathetically, but in 27 years of doing technical presentation and publications I've never had a rig so competent for that purpose and so easy to use. What's more is that, other than Office, all the software I use can be had for under $100, total.
anyways...
