I considered a macbook when I was looking for a more portable notebook, the macbook was nice but for the money it was still missing a few things I wanted and would expect. I ended up getting an acer timeline special addition which not only saved me $400 but does more for me than the mac. Smaller and lighter which was a plus for me, more hard drive, more ram, similar LED monitor but a little slower of a processor which to me didn't seem to relevant since it's just a small portable laptop. However what really sold me was the card reader and the HDMI out with full HD capability. I also prefer the operating system, windows 7 is nice and familiar with equally good features and it's compatible with the rest of my life.

Anyways my point is don't think of mac and pc being so different and just focus on getting a notebook that best fits your needs and wants. I think if people do this 9 times out 10 there coming out with a PC and some extra coin in there pocket.
