if you don't know much about computers get a mac. you're much less likely to fuck it up, or get internet pr0n std's. it doesn't matter how fast your wind03z is if all it does it blue screen, or redirect you to pr0n sites when you're trying to do some real work.
vista is god awful, and vista is what you'll most likely be stuck with unless you know enough to downgrade to xp yourself, that is if you're laptop is capable of running XP or ubuntu without loosing wifi,sound, or external display capabilities.
few things make a macbook much better than the windows laptops, mag safe battery connector is awesome, backlit keyboard that you can see what you're doing in low light. much, much, much better power handling, and as a result much better battery life. try playing a 2 hour dvd/bluray movie on a windows laptop without dimming the screen to shit, and see how much battery life you have left. 0. as well as a very solid build, unlike creaky plastic windows notebooks.
1 thing tho, if you do get a macbook, never order one fully loaded, it's always cheaper to buy a bigger hardrive/ram/mouse from a supplier like netlink, and it's the same stuff apple would have sold you for much more. which you can say about the laptops as well, but the macbooks are more about the full package than just a .3 ghz upgrade or 1 extra gb here or there.
i hate elitist, spoonfed mac users, not macs, it's usually the opposite with windows..... usually.
