text: I have worked with both Mac's and PC's and i totally vote for the macbook.  The operating system is much more stable and will last longer than another laptop because they are built stronger in my opinion.  PC's are good also if you are in an environment that is PC dominated or if you want to try out software (software for Macs are limited).  Macs are great if you are doing photos, videos and other creative stuff. I belive Apple also ships their computers rapidly and would receive it much faster than a PC if you are travelling soon.
