I am agonizing over the decision to buy a new notebook. Runner ups are the D620 and the MacBook Pro. Can you help me make a decision?

Criteria: Core Duo, display with about 1440*900 Pixels, not too heavy. Main application is software development with Eclipse.

D620:

+not heavy
+Windows XP
+sturdy workhouse?
+integrated UMTS card (I don't need it right now, might buy without the card anyway)
+3 year warranty
-no DVI
-slightly more bulky than MacBook Pro (500cm^3 more)
-no fast graphics card (not that important, though)
-I've heard display is not too good, but I don't know?

MacBook Pro
+DVI out
+OK display
+sleek design (slot-in DVD)
+fast graphics card (but no games for OS X)
+boot camp, might be OK as emergency fallback
-OS X, I don't really like it, already have Mac Mini
-Possibly problems with whining noises and heat?
-only one mouse button
-keys for programmers missing (like "{", "|") - could learn them by heart, though
-more expensive
-only one year warranty (that's a big "-")
