I have a PowerBook Ti, an iMac and a PC desktop (and an XBox) and I like and use them all, so here are my two cents.
All operating systems, have to assume that the user is going to have the computer skills of your grandma. Windows and OS X have very different stratagies of handling this. Windows keeps everything in the OS secret from the user and places wizards all over the operating system to help you when you run into problems. This works well most of the time, but if you are a user with more computing skills and would like to get into the guts of the computer a little bit, you have to take steps to circumvent the protection and even then, the file stucture is pretty confusing to everyone but developers.
OS X on the other hand just puts everything out there in front of you. And they do it in a way that looks graceful. If you are into the command line, you can get to it easily, if not, the system won't care.
But the number one reason I like OS X over Windows XP is the lack of any kind of OS registration.
My advice is get the mac laptop or get the PC laptop and install a Linux distro. And get an XBox if you want to game.
