I have a Mac and love it. However, it's a personal choice. I went to the store and told them my needs and had them help me choose. I use a PC also but I prefer my Mac. It is safer for viruses and I have my other things that go with it ( I have about 5 Ipods that I download from the Mac. But really, it's a personal choice. I would test them out and see which one works for you. PC's are cheaper than Macs, anything Apple is pricey, but for me worth it.
