If you have time, and have a Mac store close to you, go there and play on there new comps. They will let you play on it all day long if you want to. The customer service is unreal. I have a Mac Power Book G4 and it does way more than I will ever need. I had a PC for the past 10 years, and I just got this mac 2 weeks ago and there is no way I will go back to a PC. The ease of use is great and the operating system is awesome. Anyhow, my opinion is with mac..... my 2 cents...
