For the things you listed that your significant other uses a computer for, I would stick with a PC if nothing else but to save you some hard earn cash. For those functions you listed, a Mac isn't going to make a significant difference to the experience. Save the money and buy a top tier PC laptop or desktop -- minimum 4gigs of ram, 500Gig harddrive, Quad core2 Duo chipset, a nice graphic card and a nice sound card. Throw in a 22" widescreen monitor if you're getting a desktop and you're set. Now the final question I have for you is: How do I put you in touch with my wife so you can give her the fine points of buying her hubby a new computer for Christmas?

I have had both PCs and Macs, and honestly I will probably never buy another PC again.
While the Mac prices are kind of high, they have the best customer service that I have ever experienced from any company. The have fixed 2 of my computers after the warranty ran out for free. My computer doesn't freeze and I don't have many problems with it; and the problems I do have have been resolved easily.

The poll is pretty close. I thought it would be one or the other.

I THINK Im heading toward the Mac.... Its hard to make a decision.

sooooooo.....since last time I bought a new comp, I gave them my old one and they transfered the pics and stuff for me, I dont know how to do it.

I havent bought one yet but is there a way to transfer my pics from my pc to a mac (or other pc) with out getting a computer shop to do it?

Mac FTW. I recently converted some of my designers/engineers over (wasn't hard) and they couldn't be happier. Less headaches, more productivity, better OS IMO.
