Its all about investment you want to put it in and your favorite OS.

If cost does not matter to you, buy a decent macbook or a macbook pro 
and jump into ruby world

If cost does matter to you, buy a good IBM thinkpad or some pc laptop 
and install any of your favorite linux version .. not only Ubuntu, there 
are tons of linux distributions - Fedorda, debian, Symbian, Mint, etc.,


if you fav OS is windows - you can make them work but there are some 
very good tools in ruby that are not ported to windows yet. So please 
stick to either Mac or a linux version.

Hope it helps
