Mac or PC?

To switch or not to switch?

I’ve been contemplaitng on the idea of switching to a Mac for the past couple of months. Since school is almost over and I’m about to start university, I need a new computer because my present computer is:

(a)really REALLY slow

(b) shuts down randomly

(c) 30GB hard drive

(d) battery life of around 10 minutes.

I’ve had it for almost 3 years now and I’ve had to reformat it twice and sent it for repair once.. but still. I can’t keep up with the whole anti-virus, anti-spywear, and firewall stuff. Scanning my computer once a week. I just want a computer where I can write stuff on, listen to music, store pictures, go online.. and not take 5 minutes to boot up.

So now, I’ve considered switching to a MacBook. No hassle with anti virus stuff, the magnetic cord (which I think is the best, I can’t even count anymore how many times I’ve tripped over the wire, so far my computer only fell twice), it’s userfriendly (from what I’ve read about). I dunno, I just want one that’s hassle free and fast and so far a MacBook seems to be it. I’ve been reading reviews and watchiing videos about MacBooks and so far, I like it.

Thing is, I’ve been using a PC all my life. I don’t think I even remember touching a Mac. Ok, maybe back in 5th grade in the library, I was sitting infront of a Mac and couldn’t really figure out how to work the mouse coz it just looked like a really pretty glass paper weight.. but I am willing to make the change.

So if anyone has ANY suggestion on what laptop I should get or why I shouldn’t get a Mac tell me.. I still have 5 months before I’m off to University so yeah.. lot’s of time.
