Here's a quick rundown:
Pros:
Mac:
Easy to learn/use.
Looks beautiful.
Well-Integrated (everything works incredibly well together)
Very good at what it does.
Few (if any)viruses.
It just works.
Lots of included software/hardware bonuses.
Free games at Apple website!
Newer Macs can run Windows, also.
PC/Windows:
More advanced options.
Bounties of available software.
Cheaper.
More compatible hardware/software.
More widely used, therefore, compatible with more clients, associates/etc.
Cons:
Mac:
Expensive!
Comparatively very little software available.
Available software often has fewer options than PC.
Expensive software.
PC/Windows:
Viruses!
Not too pretty.
Poorly integrated (not everything works well together).
More complex to set-up/learn to use/use on a daily basis.
All in all, Macs are more expensive, more user-friendly, and better geared towards the artistic-entertainment-visual group. PCs are cheaper, harder to use, and more work-business-oriented.
Being that you're in "business/graphics/marketing" You've got one hit for windows and two for mac. Business = Windows, and Windows = Business. Graphics would definitely be better on a Mac. Marketing... probably requires good-looking presentaions and documents, so it seems like a Mac to me.
But this isn't set in stone. You may prefer one over the other, even if you don't fit the stereotype. That's okay. Macs and PCs play well together, so you could even have one of each.
The important thing is to get the one that works for you.

More promoting, a higher advertising and marketing crew, sensible layout, homogeneity. PC is well-nigh any pc now not a mac, and of path they'll run the gamut in high-quality/cost/layout. Therefore the one factor that Macs rather have over each PC is that they are able to run Apple proprietary application. There's additionally an photograph factor that I'm noticing with Macs. Due to their branding and promoting Macs are recognized as "cooler" than their PC counterpart in unique subcultures. I'm since plenty of you place down 'virus unfastened' as one of the crucial primary professionals of a mac. That nevertheless has to do with the Unix centered working procedure run at the Mac as a substitute than the Mac itself. If PC customers are so willing, they are able to additionally get a plague unfastened working procedure in one of the crucial many Linux flavors.

Though I use a PC myself, a Mac afficianado recently demonstrated his ibook and I was impressed. It has superb functionality for a business user and comes loaded with features that make using it a breeze. I was particularly amazed by the ease with which you can organise and search for information stored on the laptop.
If you had been a geek, always trying out new software, wanting the latest version of all games etc., the Windows platform would have been better.
Based on your profile, you should go for a mac.
