I recently purchased a 17" MacBook Pro and am in the process of adding more RAM and an SSD along with Parallels. Parallels lets you install linux or Windows alongside OSX. Meaning, they run at the same time. Alternately, you can just run VirtualBox and load all the other OSs you'd like. Previously, I had a 17" Dell Core2Duo. It worked fine for development, but it's a boat anchor and had to go.

Check out https://github.com/xdissent/ievms https://github.com/xdissent/ievms It downloads and installs multiple versions of windows VM for Virtualbox with IE6-9. It also installs reset points so when the activation is up you can just reset all your VMs and use them again until activation is up. It's really useful if you do web development with a need to test on IE.
