PC or Mac?

Ok, I need a laptop. My desktop is shot and I'm getting ready to move out and start college. I need a good laptop that will last me a long time. I really like the macbooks and they seem like better computers all around. However, all my games are pc and I've never really had any problems with my dad's dell laptop. I'm not sure which I should get, so your input would be greatly appreciated.

iF YOU WANT A CITATION ASK FOR ONE!! Don't apriori give me a red mark.

If my citation makes what I say true, then you can't recind the red mark.
What if I asked you to prove my statements false?

What do you want a citation for?

From where? Not Apple.

Faster than what?
A) Are you saying Windows runs faster on the Mac hardware than OS X? I doubt that. And how would you test it?
B) Are you saying that Windows runs faster on Mac hardware than PC hardware? What PC hardware are you comparing it to? Mac's have the same hardware as PCs now.

This is not difficult for the average person to setup and it works very well and transparently in most cases.

The Macbook Air may be better than YOUR laptop, but many PC's (like Lenovo's entire X line) can last up to 10 hours on battery so this is a misleading claim.

To the OP: I'm not bashing MacBooks, they are very good computers. If you like OS X, you'll be happier with a MacBook. If you need to run Windows applications, you can do that on your Mac, but be aware that you will need to buy a copy of Windows which may cost an additional $200 (depending on which version you buy).
