I'd like to buy a new laptop. I have 1,100 bucks. I like the MacBook (the cheapest one) but I know I can get a HP Compaq laptop three or four times more powerfull with the same amount of money.
What do I do?

Tell it like it is macgeek I have switched to Mac and am still learning more about it every day. When I use windows I get frustrated by at the most inopportune time it decides to crash and I loose all of my work. Also all of the stuff running in the back ground of a PC slows it down. The last time my Windows died and had to be sent in for repairs. I went out and bought a new iMac and only use the PC to run programs and files that I haven't figured out how to do on my Mac and each day the list gets shorter.
Oh and did I mention Viruses, worms, spy ware and Trojans are virtually non-existent on a Mac. Sure you have virus scans available but what happens if your PC gets one before the company finds out about it and updates the software?

First of all, in response to the user "Dr. HOUSE", there may be a thousand different photo editing applications for Windows, but how many of them are any good? Two? Three? Simply put, crap doesn't survive in the Mac market. There is no lack of software for Mac. Sure, you might not be able to find everything at Wal-Mart, but who cares? Why would I trust my computing experience to Wal-Mart? I've been using Mac for two years now, after owning 12 different PCs, and I have yet to find anything that this wonderful computer can't do. Remember, all new Intel based Macs can dual boot with Windows. This means you'll be able to do anything. And for your information, the iPod doesn't dominate the market because "Apple can't make an MP3 player without screwing it up." Zune anyone? I think not. And how dare you soil the good name of Dr. House. He uses a Mac and an iPod, don't you know.
To the user "jo p", Macs aren't slow. All new Macs feature Intel's fastest processors. Haven't you seen the new Mac Pro featuring two Dual Core Xeon "Woodcrest" processors?
To "littlegamer725", an Intel Core Duo (or Core 2 Duo, for that fact) blows any Pentium 4 out of the water. The Pentium 4 is soon to be obsolete.

K, here is what you do! Go to your local software vendor (walmart, bestbuy, etc) and look at software you might be interested in later, look on the box for the requirements. You will find far more software for a PC than you will a MAC! APPLE cant even make an mp3 player without screwin it up let alone a compatible computer!
