I am a programmer, and I am thinking about buying a new laptop. I am thinking about:
1. Thinkpad W530
2. Macbook Pro with Retina 13 inch

I don't play games except Minecraft, and I don't usually watch movies and videos on my computer. I use Eclipse as the Java IDE, and I am thinking about installing Hackintosh 10.9 if possible.

Please tell me your advices, thank you and have a happy new year.

If you are going to go ahead and install mac os on it anywya get the macbook but it is pretty common knowledge that for java programming windows is better.
 
If you don't mind the Macbook price, you can get that and install Windows on it using Parallels. One of the best laptops I have used was a MAC with Windows running on it. Hardware was nice to use, and due to Windows, was actually usable for work hehe. One of the better things about getting a MAC is that their resale price is crazy high compared to any other system.
