Within the next month, I'll be buying a laptop. Right now I'm debating between a tablet for note-taking, a smaller laptop with vista and decent power, and a powerbook pro.
Now, besides the sexy, why am I considering the powerbook at all? What's the big advantage does mac offer, and does it seriously outweigh the disadvantages of being a complete mac virgin (well, that's not entirely true my HS had mac's)?
Is it difficult to warez programs for mac's? I'm not going to lie-I'm not even going to consider paying 400 bucks for this or 500 for that for a damn program, but I wouldn't even know what program's I'd 'need' if I were to get a macbook.
In a perfect world, I'd be able to buy a beefy tablet that I could game on decently were I so inclined. If I'm going to mostly be surfing, using media, and doing light gaming, is the macbook that great of an overall choice for someone who knows nothing of macs?
