Either way, both sides are brainwashed of sorts. I'm a PC user, and I think Macbooks suck when I use them. You're a mac user, and you will say PC's suck when you use them.

Nothing you can do about it, and you only really switch when you hit the breaking point of things you can't do. And seems to me you haven't reached that yet (by far), so just stick with a macbook and find some OSX - Windows emulators for the things you really want to do.

But keep in mind that in the business world, (at least in Europe) Mac's aren't used due to their poor performance, so you might at least want to get a little experience. Microsoft office is a required skill for most jobs.

P.S. This all doesn't apply for people who can afford both systems/consoles/etc in every conflict. Rich bastards..
I currently own both a PC and Macbook Pro. My PC is currently busted and the other one is the family computer that I cannot use to install my programs that are both PC and Mac compatible. However, I do need Microsoft Office. I could care less about Mac vs. PC based on personal preference. I just want one that can do what I need it to do and last for at least four years. I've been using both PC's and Mac's all my life so there isn't really an issue there with familiarity aside from having to learn keyboard shortcuts for certain editing programs since Mac and PC keys are so different with those things. As for the business of it, CNN is completely switching to Mac. Their editing suites are completely with Mac, so that's why I'm leaning towards that. If they had PC editing suites then I'd be leaning towards that. It all depends. I know my school also uses Mac. It's more so a convenience thing.
