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.

I've used a mac before. I like them, and I like the "pretty hardware." The only application I'll need is Microsoft Office, since I mainly want the laptop for uni notes. Btw, it's easy to convert them to Windows one right? And does the Mac's Microsoft Office have a compatibility mode with windows? hmph.

My mom's best friend from college is a mac distributor, so we might get them cheaper. I'll have to ask her.

Microsoft's Office 2007 & 2008 (for Mac) are compatible with each other.
