You will be very happy if you do switch to Mac and if you feel the need (can't imagine why), you can run Windows too.

thinkpad all the way.

Wow, this is making it difficult to choose. So much great feedback for sure! Would be running a little light photoshop, ftpclient maybe dreamweaver and the basics. Are the macs able to connect to monitors easily such as pc laptops etc. I know nothing abut them but the time as come and I must purchase one or the other this week. If not mac any lenovo series recommended for what usage I've described?

MrPotatoBread,

Are you anywhere near an Apple Store? If so I would recommend an appointment with a FREE personal shopper that can answer all your questions on the spot and show you around.

If it was me Lenovo

Any particular model?

I looked up reviews of the latest macbook and they show you the laptop however they never talk about the software or show demonstrations of something booting or loading. Anyone have a good clip they'd like to share of a review?

I ordered the MBP. With everyone here in the thread 75% were MBP so I went with that. Any programs or anything you guys recommend doing or trying out etc? I'm a first time mac guy so this should be interesting. Lol....

See my above post lol. It is a sweet computer but what's a sweet computer without programs? I bet there are a few but no video review I checked out could tell me.

if you already own a mac go for it... otherwise continue with the same OS...

50 Mac fans :)
