Have 1200 bucks to spend on a computer...I love the mac's but am wondering if it would be better to get a great PC rather than an average mac?

Depends on who you ask and what your level of expertise is with the different operating systems. Only YOU will know the answer to this question.

The 'average' Mac runs Windows too . . . *
What Windows laptop can run OSX?

*side-by-side, simultaneously, drag & drop.

I ran Mac's for 10 years. 10 years! Eventually I couldn't handle it anymore.
Happy PC guy here.

Which platform do you own software for?

Your investment in software is likely more then the computer, so change is expensive.

I'm a definite PC guy but am going to be the devil for this post...

Is this a replacement machine or a second machine? Consider a Mac in addition to an existing PC for task specific activities?
