Macs are literally a normal computer, sold at double the price - don't understand the allure.
I am a big Sony guy. Swear by Sony Vaio. Am typing on one now. Used a Toshiba for the first 3 years of undergrad, and rolled with a Sony Vaio through the last year of undergrand and 3 more years of "graduate school".
Awesome hardware, and PC's are just awesome machines - if you know what you are doing.
If you are into it simply looking pretty, and don't care about money or performance - than yeah, the Mac is for you.
