RE: I want to join the dark side.
The benefits of buying a MacBook as opposed to a normal laptop are the Mac OS and pretty hardware design. Have you used a Mac before? I wouldn't buy a Mac without trying it for a while first. After all it is an entire different OS and many applications you are used to may not be available on a Mac. You could still run Windows on a Mac, but then you would be paying a lot of money just for a pretty case. MacBooks are definitely more expensive than regular laptops with similar specs.
Visit an Apple store and give it a try, or even better would be lending one from a friend for a few days.
