Mac or HP

I just wanted to think what you guys would go for

First know that a windows notebook is usually much less than an equivalent Macbook.
Figure out what apps you use and if they are available in a mac version. Ditto for games you play. If a Mac is still an option then go to a mac store and lay with one and see if the interface is something you can get used to.
If your still interested in a Macbook but want Windows too, you could still dualboot to XP or run an emulator.

I say get a Mac you will have alot less crashes on a Mac if any, and no fricken glitches like when you minimize a screen in windows and it stays on the screen for a couple of seconds THAT right there has been driving me nuts on 2 brand new top of the line Dells we just recieved at work. Plus there cooler anyways. Try it you wont be disappointed. Trust me I work on 3 PC'* during the day and I own 3 Apple computers including a Macbook all the Apple computers I own are used the same way as the PC'* But the Apple computers always out performs.

I'm lovin' my MacBook Pro, but for whatever reason when I partitioned the Hard Drive to run Windows I set the Mac OS with the least space...Cause now that I got familiar with the Mac side, I liked it more.
