I think a lot of it comes down to personal opinion. There will ever be the Mac/PC debate as to which is easier to use and all that, and what it really comes down to on that scheme is what you know. A definite advantage to Macs is they are essentially immune to spyware, adware, viruses and most of that evil software floating around out there. I've also gotten numerous testomonials that they last longer, as apple insists on quality hardware. Honestly I don't know. Advantages to PCs are things like greater software availability, and if you do have a problem it's often easier to get it taken care of since they have most of the computer market.
I won't say this is unbiased, because personally I prefer Macs, but both sides have ups and downs. I did recently talk to a girl who'd just bought a digital camera and had a pile of problems with drivers and everything trying to get it to import to her PC. Her roommate had a mac, and all she did was plug it in, and it worked perfectly. Way to remeniscent of that commerical that was on tv a few years ago about some girl doing just that and "saving christmas" or something, but it did actually happen.
I'd say poke around on both systems, talk to people who are maybe going to be doing similar things as you on it, and see what they think. Beware of evangilists on both sides. Way to many PC users just blindly say Macs suck when they have no experience, and way to many Mac users have a 'holier than thou' attitude.
