I'm thinking of getting a Macbook sometime in the next few months. I'll probably just get the standard Macbook, the one with the 250 GB HD, for $999.

I know Macs are bad for gaming. This doesn't bother me since 1) I rarely play computer games and 2) I'll still have my Windows laptop to play games on if I so wish to. What I don't know is how Macs work for things that I do a lot on my computers. Any Mac users out there to lend some knowledge on the following:

Torrenting - probably the most important thing I do on my computer besides web browsing and IMing/webcamming. If torrent is difficult or troublesome on Macs, then I don't want one at all. Can you torrent the same as on a PC, with uTorrent and such, without having bugs or difficulty?

Also, I'm curious as to how expensive they are to repair if they're damaged? Apple is kind of a dick about repairs for iPods and iPhones, so I'm sure this is no exception, but I'm curious.

Thanks! Sorry if any of these questions are stupid - I'm not the biggest computer whiz.
