Buying the right computer

IMO, buying a macbook is buying into "fashion" for computers. I'm on a windows desktop, and I do digital media fine without any problems. It is just down to personal preference. Adobe makes its CS suites available for both OSes. Not saying Macs aren't solid computers, they are. But I'm not saying other PCs aren't just as solid and more powerful. Also note that I know "arts" people almost use Macs 100% exclusively, so...go join the club?

I do admit, that I highly endorse the design of the Macbooks, and having used many laptops, there's more killer features too, the major one being the Multi-touch trackpad, which I know isn't exclusive to Apple, but their implementation is by far the best. And the 6-8 hour battery life on them too, I have heard good things about them, while all other High-end notebooks provide 3-5 hours.
