Buying a new laptop... Options

[Shub0xx]

Hey guys,

Am currently in the market for a new laptop. Main uses will be net, watching videos, the usual uni stuff (assignments, presentations, labs (VM's) etc).

My question to you all is this... PC or Mac? I know I'm going to get the usual Mac is better than PC, PC is better than Mac banter, which I welcome. However, I'd like to know why you think one is better than the other. Want to know pros and cons for both.

Am looking to buy within the next month, so any advice anyone can offer, I'll gladly take on board.

Thanks in advance..
