At the end of the day it comes down to personal choice,
If you enjoy using Microsoft computers then go for one, but id suggest trying the MacBook Pro, because like i sed in the last post software compatibility is not an issue any more. it WAS.. but now everything that is available on a PC is available on a Mac, apple also have there own version, which to be honest, are much better
i.e
iLife 08 - which comes standard on every mac
iWork '08 - for only £55 you got all the features of Office but better!... the same as Word, Excel and PowerPoint
But like i said Personal Choice..
