vs.
Need something new and need opinions. Want something for general internet browsing, writing papers, and editing pictures/videos. I've loved my 3.5yo Dell Studio 15 up until these past few months when it just doesn't want to do anything anymore. I hate apple but with all the frustration I've been having lately, I'm willing to try something new. Go!
(not trying to turn this into PC vs. Mac so don't go there).

A Man Just Needs Some....
Haven't tried editing any pics with the MacBook yet but everything else works fantastic. Just gotta get used to the operating system. It is different but really user friendly once you learn how to navigate through it.

I bet a new Prius comes with a free Apple product.

EDIT: I just noticed that the Mac "Ships in frustration free packaging"! What more could you ask for?

I do like the track pad on the mac although it does take some getting used to. What I don't like is how hard it is to maximize a window. I can't stand when it's not maximized. And the menu buttons at the top is just plain odd. And there's no start button. It's so confusing.

The Apple logo top left is the equivalent to the start button (kind of)
You are young, you'd adapt quickly to the Mac OS

Really love iMovie. So much more efficient than windows live movie maker (which was nothing but a PIA). TMS seems to load slower though.
