Go to 5th avenue and 57th street- the glass apple store just opened last month-- all their equipment in the store is playable.. it's worth putting your handson it to see how you like it...
I'm of the "from my cold dead hand you will take my PC" but i've had a G5 on my desk at work in addition to my PCs - andi'm coming around... The graphics/publishing software are far superior on the mac than they are on the pc... I wouldn't say faster -- just the quality is better...
Go to the mac store and play...
