txgirl - I don't know the politics of your friend but some of us (by that I mean mostly just me) feel Microsoft is an evil company, has been for decades, and refuse to give them our money on moral grounds if nothing else. If the morality of a company is as issue, Apple wins easily (not to say Apple is perfect but not even in the same ballpark as MS).
Apple makes great laptops and their laptops are much more in line price / feature / performance wise with PC's than with their desktop lines.
