what are you waiting for? Get a mac already!!! I always wanted to get a mac. The only reason I did not was because I can't afford it.

If you can afford, by all means go for it!!! Macs are just so so so cool. Once you are used to Mac's UI, it won't be a problem. If you need windows, you can always go for bootcamp or parallels. But if you get windows PC, installing mac on it is not so easy. Might not even work...ahem**osx86**ahem...

I'm using iBook G4 1.07 Ghz which was bought 2 years+ ago. It took me approximately a month to really grasp the entire system and utilise the functions but since then it was a breeze.

I'm an engineering student so the downside of having a Mac as your primary laptop is that you can't do your programming stuff on MacOS. Circuit diagram & AutoCAD files that has to be compatible with your uni PC computers... No choice. Industrial training that uses software that only support Windows... No choice.

IF you're not an engineering student, I don't see why you shouldn't go for a macbook. It's extremely stable I must say. I have never shut-down my iBook since I bought it. If I don't need it I just shut the top lid. When I want to use it, I open the lid and the mac is instantly usable. Totally hassle free.

Of course, if you are the person that gets annoyed at people constantly coming to you and ask this question: "Eh, Mac good ah?" then I suggest you stay away from it to avoid the attention. Lol...

You can always run parallels if you are using OS X 10.4.6 and above.
