Well that depends on the type of work you will be doing. If you will be doing somethingt that requires a tolerant operating system which can be used for doing video editing, animation, computer graphics and such you should get a PC. On the other hand if you are looking for more user friendliness and compatability, you should consider a mac. I personally have a PC and i do 3d animation and video editing on it, and so far from the experiences that i had ill say that a PC is pretty reliable.

You should type down what you plan to do with it.
Since some penis just gave me a thumbs down, I'll tell you straight away. Get a PC. A crapintosh is nowhere near as advanced as a PC. Enjoy your overpriced $2500+ Mac Pro with its "amazing" Geforce 7300GT. Enjoy your $850 4GB of DDR2-667 (you can get 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM for $200 on a PC). Enjoy your few programs that your Mac supports. Oh so now you say Macs can run Windows, which is why they're superior? Guess what, retard, you can install MacOSX on a PC as well. And don't let me get started on the iMac. You can't upgrade every component you want on that POS.
As for laptops...

If you have not list out what you plan to do with it there is little to be said by any of us but PCs do have more mass appeal hence a safer bet due to its openness from the get-go since the 80s.

Basically you have 2 options. You can spend $2,000+ on a computer that less than 5% of the world uses, or you can spend $300-500 on a computer that 95% of the world uses.
Note: Supply vs Demand applies to software and hardware.
Bottom line: Apple is a money pit. Don't get sucked into it.

I can tell from how to talk that you don't really need a good computer. Get something really basic if all you want to do is read email, write things, play what you call games. Here is a good one. http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspndt_53xs?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~tab=bundlestab

I personally like PCs better just because I'm used to them. I used a Mac for years before I ever used a PC though. Macs are more flashy and there to look good. But if you don't care about looks and you want function.. get a PC.
