Computer Issues
For the last few days I have been without a working computer. My HP laptop has been a real lemon; this time it is the video card. The problem is I have no extra dinero to get it fixed. At the same time I'm going to need something reliable, so I have begun to think about moving on to a Mac.
I have heard many good things about Macs, but I was wondering how different they are from regular PC's?
How many of you had made the switch?

The best reason to prefer one to another is that a software package you want to use is only on one platform. Most well-known apps are available for both platforms. If you want to run Bibleworks, say, or use OneNote or Access, then Windows is the only way to go. If you want to use Keynote or Accordance, then you need a Mac.
Generally, Apple have good quality control, However, the MacBookPro before the one on which I'm typing this was a bit like your HP. In the first month I had it, it went back for repairs (a different fault each time) three times, The fourth time I insisted on trying it before leaving the store and something else went wrong. That was when they replaced it. Good service, but a rare crap computer.
So, you should get an Apple if you want the Apple OS for particular programs; otherwise, you can spend $600 and get a quality windows notebook with 4GB of RAM and an Intel I3 or AMD Phenom processor. That's plenty fast for video editing and most games.
