trying to pick one between two.
ive been using pc for my entire life and for mac, i m just aware of basic tools and functions.
i usually use my computer for internet and word processor. and nothing else much.
i have one pc laptop and am pretty satisfied with it except it gets too heated and freezes often.
I hope you please explain how the macbook would be better than pc for me.
because i already have two windows laptops now, i'd wanna try another type this time. but i m not really familiar with apple computers. that's why im still conflicting.
thanks for reading and i hope you leave a comment or advice for me.

The only thing about a MAC that is better is that it doesn't get infected with spyware like a PC does.
But it is fairly simple to keep a PC clean if you practise smart surfing and run a scan on the computer now and then.
In my opinion, MACS are overpriced. You get a much better and faster computer with a PC. Also, you can't run most software on a MAC that you can run on a PC.

This Mac buyers FAQ guide from Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal should answer a few questions.
Q. Who should consider a Mac?
A. Pretty much every average consumer using a computer should at least look at the Mac. It combines gorgeous hardware with an operating system I consider superior to Windows, with better built-in software. It can even run Windows programs if you buy and install a copy of Windows.
Q. Can I run Microsoft Office on a Mac?
A. Yes. Microsoft makes a Mac version of Office, which uses the same file formats that Word, Excel and PowerPoint for Windows have used for years.
Q. Can I use all my Windows files on a Mac?
A. Out of the box, Macs can handle all the common file types Windows machines create, including text files, pictures, songs and Adobe PDF files. The Mac even comes with a simple word processor that can open Microsoft Word files.
Q. Can I mix Macs and Windows on the same home network?
A. Macs can plug and play with most brand-name wired and wireless routers, and can share Internet connections with Windows PCs.
Q. Can Macs run standard peripheral hardware?
A. Macs can run nearly all keyboards, mice and printers that use USB connections, even ones that don’t explicitly say they run on Macs.
Q. How about Mac laptops?
A. There are two. The entry-level MacBook has a 13-inch screen and a starting price of $1,099. The high-end MacBook Pro comes with either a 15-inch or 17-inch screen and starts at $1,999. Apple currently doesn’t offer a smaller laptop for road warriors, but there are persistent rumors that it will do so soon.

Thats the diff in maximum computers at present besides.

Well, it HAS been known to be the fastest consumer Vista-capable laptop.
Other than that, Mac OS X is a very stable and secure OS.
Although they are quite a bit pricey...
Don't listen to those "Mac Sucks, Windows is teh secks" fanbois. Do your own research.

Macbook better than PC?
Yeah right. It's only better for Steve Job's pocket book.
Stick with the PC -- apple is even cloning them now.

A macbook is more expensive and makes you look like one of those cool non-conforming mac guys. Woo-hoo!
