Need advice on getting started with a macbook!

Hi there. I currently use windows 7 for my front-end web development stuff but I am thinking of moving to a macbook pro. I would love to hear what macbook you would suggest and also is there much of a learning curve moving from windows 7? Also, what sort of tools and apps (e.g. codekit) would you suggest to speed up my workflow?

Thanks!

Well I write my code in sublime and use the windows command line for ruby gems (e.g. sass, compass, middleman, jekyll etc) and npm (grunt, yeoman etc). This process helps with designing in the browser but to be honest it's quite messy so I want to streamline it with a mac but I would have no idea where to begin! Any suggestions!?
