Why must Apple draw me towards them?

I'm a PC user at home and a Mac user professionally. As laptops go i'm using a Intel based MacBook with 1GB of ram. I'm rather happy with it. The design is really nice for the most part. The magnetic power adapter is a great idea and keeps you from damaging the computer when someone accidentally trips over your cord. The only problem with the design is that top of the keyboard cover, right next to the touch pad, cracks do to too much pressure applied when closed quickly (My school has been getting free replacement for these).

The roughest part about the transition to a Mac is the lack of a right click. You can use the Apple key + click to do it, but I found it easier set a preference to use a "two finger" click as a right click (leave two fingers on the trackpad while clicking).

On the whole a mac is a great little laptop. If you are planning on using your laptop for specialized software, CAD for example, mac aren't the best thing for you. You can set up a duel boot rig but i've had limited success with them during robotics season. Windows runs rather slow.
