I start my new job next month, entry level java developer. I have been a .Net developer ever since I got out of school. I was pondering if buying a mac book pro would be ideal for java? I've had windows laptops before and they have become clunky, slow, unexpected problems and such. I'm not an average computer user, I take care of my pc's and personally I never had nay problems before. But I recently have been working for the dep of education and they have lent me a macbook to check out and use to test our web apps. I really like it and was considering buying one. I've been a windows user all my life but I have also liked OSX. Would a macbook pro be good for java development? I'm not sure what Vanguard uses for Java development but I am sure it will most likely be windows pc's. Any ideas?

Java is cross platform and there is the Netbeans & Eclipse IDEs available for them, so a Mac can be used if you prefer one. – Sandeep Bansal Mar 14 '11 at 13:38
