Two laptops in my family. One PC (HP), one macbook. Wife and I hate the mac. It has had many problems and, at two years old, is nearly as slow as my 5.5 year old PC. It's been in for repairs twice, had to buy new parts 3 times. My PC? Just like a Timex. However, the PC that the Mac replaced had many problems too. I switch back and forth when I'm home, I don't find the Mac any more intuitive than the PC. I was "raised" on PC's, but I think I've been using the Mac long enough to break myself of the "old habits" that so many guys mentioned when talking me in to buying a Mac. Our next computer will be a PC again. The Mac's are just so overpriced for the hardware you get. I won't advise against a Mac, I wont even say I'll never buy another one. I've heard that Mac's excel at certain things, I guess we don't do those things, so we'll stick with the PC for now.
