I am in the same boat as I do not want to use Mac equipment.
Laptops: I have good experience with Toshiba both AMd and Intel cpus..my next laptop will be an i7 Toshiba.
As far as build desktop I might not have to as there are some basic HP desktop PCs on sale that with 1 gig dedicated graphics that you could install SSD into and than supply two LCDs and a network NAS for under $2500.
That is of course you have choice between 2nd generation i7 and the AMD FX series cpus
And of course if you need to add a graphics tablet it will bring it up to $3000..but still not bad..
