I realize that this might turn into a small flame battle but please, try and keep it civilized - I'm just looking for some information.

Im planning to get a laptop for school that I can hopefully keep for the next few years without having problems with ( crashing, having to reformat, etc. ). I just need it to function as something I will be able to write papers on, have a wireless connection, email/go online, and a little photo editing here and there. Before I had really thought much about it, my mind completely passed over Mac. I never looked at it for a second but a friend brought it up, and it seems that theyre not as bad as Ive heard them made out to be.. that and it would be nice to be able to apply what linux / unix knowledge I have right now into an operating system that I would be using at all times. Anyway, for a price tag of about $1500 which would better serve me? Mac or PC?

Thanks for your time!
