I switched to Apple 18 months ago and would never go back to a Windows based PC. I am using the PowerBook G4 laptop, and am 100% satisfied with it. I struggled for years doing video editing on Windows and ran into new problems every time. The Mac just works so well, and the programs all work so well together. If you are in Imovie(basic editing package that comes with Mac), you can access your music, graphics, and photos, instantly. Also, I haven't had to use any anti-virus software. The Mac doesn't crash or lock up everytime you load a new program, either. In Iphoto, you can edit your photos, make a slide show of your photos and put it to music using the Ken Burns effect,(a technique that puts motion to your pictures) within minutes. Yes, the Macs do cost more, but they are worth it if you are doing graphics, photography, video editing or publishing. Just ask anyone in the business.
Also, the Mac laptops are virtually silent compared to some laptops that sound
like they are powered by Cummings. At first, it can be a bit frustrating learning to do things a little differently than Windows, but well wort it. It used to be harder to get Mac compatable software, but that doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. Besides, just look how sexy the Apple products are!
