Macs

I support them both here and software-wise Macs are fine. The problem lies in the fact that when someone DOES go wrong with your Mac, it's nearly impossible to pin it down. Also, when it comes to PCs, sure, I do this for a living BUT I don't think I've had any of mine crash in years.

Love my Mac- was hesitant on getting it, but extreamly happy with price, performance, and best of all virus protection.. I grabbed the IbookG4... good luck!!!

I have a few friends in my major that went MAC for the laptops. I know of at least two that really regret the decision.

It is noticeably faster. So far no problems, it is a beta version though. I like it.

Careful, you're exposing yourself to a whole lot of exploits with Safari.

Edit: The speed results you're referring to are marketing material put out by Apple. Reality differs however.

well, so far I really like it. And although those web sites say it is slower, it doesn't seem slower to me at all. So, I think I made a good purchase.

I am on my second Mac and and I love it. I am not going to argue with anyone who is a computer programmer by trade, other than to say you guys don't know what you are talking about.

Just kidding. But I chose mac primarily because of its advantages with audio and visual production. I like to mess around with electronic music production and I can assure you that there isn't a single succesful DJ in the world who uses anything other than MAC.

So I guess it comes down to what you are looking for.
