I would only use the computer for msn, surfing the net, and downloading music. And probably for homework when I go to college next year.

Yes, they're very good. But, read this first.
If you're asking: What is the best operating system?
They are all different, offer different pros and cons, and fill different needs for different people.
I personally believe that the best operating system is the one that you like to use and that meets ALL your needs. That is the bottom line.
If your really asking: Is a MAC worth the price. IMHO, yes.
Try this experiment: Price out a MAC at www.apple.com Then, price out a virtually identical PC at www.Dell.com, www.hp.com etc.
Then, add Vista Ultimate (like OS X), M$-Office (Neo-Office free for OS X), Norton Internet Security (no OS X malware), Back up software (Included), and any other software you may need on the Windows PC.
Then, compare prices, you will find that the Mac PRICE will be very close.
Finally, go to an Apple Store and take one for a test drive, ask lots of questions and then, decide for yourself.

The actual computer is good, but Mac's OS sucks. I don't know if macbooks can run windows or Linux but if you use the Mac OS, you will die a horrible burning death as you jump out your window because you can't stand the cascading help screens and other way to user friendly functions it has.
Mac OS is for computer users who can't use a computer or people who can use a computer but hate Microsoft and find Linux to hard.

No. Macbooks are not good computers. Instead, you should get a Toshiba Satellite M65-S9092.

I got one after months of wanting one. Now I regret it. It's just an overpriced toy.
I still prefer my trusty XP machines
