Default Should I buy an Mac Laptop?
I'm toying with getting an Apple Mac laptop

Probably a MacBook Pro ....

Should I?

If not, why not?

If so, why?

You should register BuyMicheleAMacBook.com and whack a dirty big Paypal button on it with 'Donate' written on it.

It's a bit of a no brainer really.

If you can get a mac, then get one.
If you can't get a mac then get a latitude or something.

My two cents are that as someone who fixes computers is as follows

MAC make great looking and very reliablehardware.

But when it comes to fixing them I have always had problems getting technical information and getting parts for a MAC desktops from your standard parts store due to the prevalence of windows. I don't go near laptops if I can help it.

If you know someone who will be able to fix the laptop after its warranty runs out go ahead.

or just get an applecare with it!

that said, Macs are incredibly reliable, and you often see really old pwo macs for sale, so they tend to last more than a pc.

Next laptop i'm gonna get will be a macbook pro (have a vaio and an old powerbook at the moment) you can run windows on it now so why not!
