UPDATE:
I realized my Links were broken, but I have fixed them. Check out the links for personal witness.
The Mac fans have been trying their best to be recognized by trying to counteract Windows. No matter what Mac fans do, I am here to reveal the truth that dominates their worthless inputs.
Whenever I respond to a particular question, I bring with me what they called “ Facts”
That’s right, facts speak louder than words that full of nonsense.
Macs used to be Macs, but because Macs have reached their limits, they gradually moved over to Windows components.
Windows has been using Intel CPU from day one until this very moment. Macs on the other hand didn’t want to use Intel because they wanted to stick with their technologies. They were so determined to prove that they are ultimately independent. Predictably, Macs failed. They have surrendered to start using Windows CPU, which is Intel. The Latest Macs now use Intel 2 Duo CPU, a component that windows has been using since day one.
I, and maybe you, have heard how happy the Mac fans are. They constantly talk about how they can install Windows on their Mac through bootcamp and parallel. I’m also happy for them, but what they failed to realize is that they’re using Windows, an OS that they claim not secured and stabled and needed.
Why did Mac enable Mac users to install windows on their Macs? Good question, and I’ve ready answered that question previously.
It is the same theory relating to Intel CPU. Mac knows someday they will have to switch over to Windows OS in order to continue their poor success. In order for Mac to become recognized, they MUST join Microsoft, the leader for computer technologies... Since Mac now enables users to install Windows on Mac computers, they have sold more computers than they had previously.
Windows does not need to enable users to use Mac OSX, because Windows users do not need Mac OSX. Unlike Windows, Mac needs windows, whether they agree with my theory or not. I am yet to see windows switch over to Mac's component, and I guaranteed I won't see that.
I have to laugh mysteriously at the Mac fans who claim their OS is more stabled than Windows OS. I also laugh at them when they say Windows is more vulnerable to Viruses compared to Mac, and that Mac cannot be infected with viruses. Such comment from them authenticates how uneducated they’re.
The significant reason Mac has less viruses available is because Mac has less values in the computer marketing share. If you have 100 Goats and your friend has 3 Goats, wouldn’t you have more goats to sell than your friend? That’s right. So Windows has 95% share in the computer market, while Mac only has 5%, so Windows is at greater risk getting threats compares to Mac. It cannot get any simpler than that. And that is a fact you have to grasp.
Furthermore, Windows is NOT vulnerable to viruses. The uneducated people are the ones who are vulnerable to viruses. It has been 6 straight years now since I last caught a virus, and that was because, at a very young age, I foolishly downloaded a software that was offered to me for free on the Internet.
Now, would you eat from a stranger who comes up to you from nowhere and hands you a class of Vanilla Ice Cream? No! And why? Answer: Because you do not know the person, and there is a great chance you may get poisoned.
The same is with computer technology, you must not download free software off the Internet from sources you do not know or trust.
They’re many Anti Virus protections available to protect your investment, personal data and documents. Why don’t many people use security software? The answer is: Because they’re uneducated.
Now, let’s take a look at what Mac computers lack.
Mac comes short of what you'll find on a similarly sized PC laptop, including the Dell Inspiron E1705. That said, the MacBook Pro ONLY features three USB 2.0 ports; FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 ports; an 1. ExpressCard slot; and a DVI port (VGA with included adapter) for connecting to an external monitor. As with the PowerBook, the MacBook Pro features a slot-loading SuperDrive that plays and burns DVDs and CDs. One new extra is the Apple remote that controls the included Front Row multimedia player; people wish, though, that the MacBook had a storage slot for it. Unlike most PC laptops, the MacBook Pro lacks a built-in media reader for flash memory cards, and there's no S-Video output or built-in modem--both of which Windows PCs have...
With a Dell computer, you get everything you need to use your laptop. You are never limited with a windows based system.
What windows based system do I recommend? Good question, and my ID answers that ( It has to be a Dell)
Dell has a range of different computers to totally satisfy your needs, whether you are a gamer, a designer, a casual person, a regular person, Dell has what you need. If you want styles, Dell has the the XPS m1330 that is phenomenally attractive, yet so powerful and stunning.
You can now purchase your Dell at Macy’s store, or you can just look at them in person before you purchase.
To visit Dell website, please visit this link 1. http://www.dell.com/
Dell computers now come in variety of colors to compliment your tastes and personality...
Customer service is what you need to be concerned about. Please note that apple customer service is one of the most degraded customer service ever there is.... Dell is up there being one of the best computer customer services after having failed in the past.
The Macs computers are known as headache. Please visit link to a video for personal witness.
At this link, you will hear the sound of a cow from the mac system http://youtube.com/watch?v=uwuMcFt07x8
At this link, the Mac continues to sound like a cow http://youtube.com/watch?v=31oOlHCX9bY

Please note that Macbook Pro LCD can’t be opened fully, which can be a pain in the butt... Visit this link to see what I am talking about http://youtube.com/watch?v=2pQQWB3uZIs
Anyway, it was my pleasure responding to your question today.
You have a great day now.
Ms Dell.

Get a Mac, you won't regret it.
For any software that matters, there's either a Mac version or a Mac substitute. Additionally, because OS X is based on FreeBSD Unix you have the entire open source Unix based world of software available to you, plus you can also run command line Unix too. If needed, you can even load Windows onto it too. The more versed you become in OS X, however, the less you'll need or want Windows and its associated applications.
OS X is easier to use and far more elegant than Windows, by a large margin. It's also less susceptible to malware. Windows is a toy Chevy/Ford operating system, dumbed down for the masses. The only thing it is good for is gaming.
Nix based, heavy metal operating systems are a whole 'nother universe compared to Windows.
As far as hardware goes, a Mac is essentially a PC with better support and build quality. Are some of them expensive? Yes, but not all. The MacBook's, iMacs and Mac Mini are all competitively priced. The MacBook Pro's and Mac Pro's are a little pricey, but they're more aimed at the enthusiast/professional market.
Most people criticizing Mac's on this board are kids that have no idea what they're talking about. Most of what they say is flat out wrong, or outdated.
Again, get a Mac, you won't regret it.

UPDATE:
As usual, Mrs. Dell is full of complete b.s. Ignore her, she's a known troll on this board. (not to mention, a complete buffoon)

My friend what you have heard is correct. Macs are great for music, movies, picture editing, and having a chat on a web cam. You can do so much on a mac. If you are getting a mac I would suggest you wait until October for Leopard. Also Apple plans on brining out a new line of iMacs soon. You can trust the mac users when we say that if you get a mac you wont go back. I also suggest that you don't spend anytime on miss dell. All the url said "The url contained a malformed video id". She has been giving false info and leading people to believe what she wants. Everything she said is all made up. She should give Macs a chance just like Dad.

I'm going back and forth in my mind, as you are...
As one of the above said, you can run Windows on a Mac. Of course, yer lookin' at a high-powered and therefore expensive Mac (plus the expense of a copy of Windows and whatever stuff you want to install under Windows - don't forget that!) All in all, an utterly expensive proposition.
On the other hand, on a webmaster website of which I'm a member, I've seen website developers suggest they'd use nothing else...
I guess it all depends on what (how much) you want...

Why do I recommend Apple to people who ask for advices on purchasing their new notebooks? Good question, and here is why:
When you buy a Mac, you can install windows on it. That’s right, you have best of both world... If you choose to use Mac OSX operating system, or choose to use windows, your Mac can do it. The same doesn’t apply to windows based notebooks. You can’t install Mac OSX on a Dell or HP or whatever. Isn’t it great to have two of the most popular OS’s on your system simultaneously? Of course, and Apple makes that possible.
Again, you do not necessarily need to install Windows on your Mac. Mac OSX or Leapord does all you need, referring to Photos, personal home video editing, art design, building your own web-site, etc. But if your Mac OSX is lack compatibility with certain games, that doesn’t mean you can’t play them on your mac. Once again, simply install windows on your Mac to play all your games.
Some say Apple overpriced their notebooks, which is not true at all. You won't find a regular laptop with windows that has 2.4GHz CPU. 2GB of RAM and a powerful GPU by NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 256MB SDRAM for $2,499. No, you will not find that. I similarly configured Dell would cost approximately $4000.
Do not listen to the people who say Mac lacks software or has compatible problems. Mac lacks nothing. If there are games that Mac OSX doesn't support, your Mac will still play them. How? All you need to do is install windows on your Mac. Your Mac is compatible with every thing. Not only Mac is compatible with everything, it does everything you need it to do. Most of all, it allows you to have best of both world, Windows and Mac, as previously mentioned.
Mac is not vulnerable to viruses.
I’ve heard and seen people reinstall their operating system so many times as a result of numerous virus infections that ruin their essential data... As soon as a windows user download and install a problem, he/she has to scan his/her computer immediately to ensure that the computer didn’t get infected with viruses, and most of the time they either get infected with spyware and malware, not to mention trojan horses, which copy and steal your personal information on your computer...
With Mac, you do not deal with those corruptions. The Mac OSX is so solid that it had very few viruses, but those viruses are no longer exist because apple has corrected and patched their holes.
Mac will play any game available today. It is very thin and light. It is the lightest notebook in its class.
1. Forget the rest and buy the best.
2. You just heard from Dad

dude if u buy a mac you have the least compatibility.
you can be sure that 90% of the people around you use Windows. say that you wanna share a video with your friend who was windows. if you have a mac, the other guys will probably need to convert it to some other format.
also, ANY program that your friends have cannot be installed on yur mac.
if your friend sends you a report that he typed in microsoft word, you can't do anything with it.
so consider buying a windows pc, for the same price you were planning for, and avoid all the frustration.
windows is the easiest to use.
there are so much programs for windows.
buy windows for the broadest compatibility.

A mac might be good for what you require, although they aren't any "greater now" than they were a year ago.
