A "Mac" is an Apple Macintosh computer:

The new systems (Intel CoreDuo) can run BOTH Apple and Windows operating systems.
A "PC" is the term used for "Personal Computers" running Microsoft Windows:

I have Windoze at work and Macs at home
A laptop at work is a Dell that had the hard drive die less than a year after purchase - Our Dell desktops have been more reliable (so far)...
CompUSA http://www.compusa.com/
carries both Apple and Windows systems -- I'd suggest going to take a test drive and talking to some people at the store. Unfortunately, not too many of the sales staff really know both systems, so keep asking around. Also talk to other photographers and find out what they have (and what they wish they had).
For Photos, the Mac is probably your best option - it comes with iPhoto and Adobe PhotoShop is pretty much native to Macs. It also can run a large variety of software: http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/; http://www.apple.com/software/
There are two MacBook options - MacBook and MacBook Pro:

The best is Mac. The new one is "macbook pro". But if u want a PC laptop, just go for Acer. It is cheap and really hardworking!

u should go to ur local computer store not a big business because usually they put the parts together and when u buy from dell ur not just buying the computer ur buying like the licenses and stuff so buy from a local store alot cheaper and better quality
