Well I'm using OS X and Windows at the same time.

It depends on one's preferences laaa. Mac is not about style only but usability out of the box.

If you're a gamer - go for windows machine
If you want to try something new, with no virus attack and quite the eye candy - then try Mac

This kind of questions brings me back to the "Should I buy the Macbook Air" question last time. When ask why, just want to look cool and show off.

But I go back and forth between mac and windows.

Actually there's no certain answer to your question and it depends on who/where you ask the question. If you ask it here, majority (most likely all) will say it's worth it (this is an Apple section after all). And if you ask in the PC section, you'll probably get an opposite answer.

The answer lies within yourself. Learn and get a hands on with a Mac/Apple Computers at the local store. Most of the guys there are willing to help (if you approach the right person) with any of your queries. They even have intro classes (if not mistaken) for people that's trying/interested to switch to a Mac. Only after you weigh the Pros and Cons yourself, then you'll know whether it's worth it or not.

But one thing for sure, most of the Mac converts likes their new "World" of "things just work".

Windows thru bootcamp = can x64
Windows thru Parallels/VMware = can't. Only x32 (tried myself with Parallels with Windows 7)

Last time I bought the carbon fiber sticker from the Garage Sales. Dunno if that guy still selling or not.

@terence8
It's just like a sheet of sticker with carbon fiber print on it. You'll have to cut and fit the design yourself. As for the link, here you go.

Why are you going crazy? If you are indeed a student or working in the education field, just scan your ID and email to them, unless you are trying to save few hundred ringgit by purchasing the macbook thru the education store which you are not eligible. Apple have the right to ask for verification as the education store are meant for students, educators and education institutions. Usually they don't ask for verification but sometimes they randomly ask for it. So if you try to cheat and get caught doing it, you only have yourself to blame.

Apple LED Cinema Display is just the monitor (a very crisp and good monitor btw and darn expensive) while iMac is the whole system in 1 packaging (CPU, Monitor, DVDrom, motherboard etc).

BTW ... it's better to get the ACPP (Apple Care Protection Plan) to be on the safer side since Apple spare part/repair after warranty is a BIT expensive than the normal PC. They don't use normal motherboards like normal pc but use logicboard where the processor and graphic chips are soldered to the board itself (so no self upgrade on this 2 item). Only the RAM and HDD are user upgradeable (except for Mac Pro).

As for time machine ... it's an app for .... errmm ... going back in time. Not the time travelling thing but more to finding files which been accidentally deleted, overwritten etc etc. It's something like shadow copies or "previous version" in windows. That's where the external drive comes in the picture, as the backup device for time machine. Apple also have Time Capsule (their own external HDD plus some other feature) to be use with time machine. To know more on time machine ... go to http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics for some demo video.

What do you mean by "they don't provide postage to house"? Items from the Apple Online Store can be delivered anywhere i.e. home, office, university etc. Got an iPod delivered to my house last year.

And you can get student price from Apple reseller at MMU or Lim Kok Wing. I don't know if you have to be a student from those respective institute to get the discounts.
