I don't prefer either. Each of them have their own strong points and weak points. The great thing about the new macs is that they allow bootcamp so we can have both mac and windows on one machine legally.

If you can tolerate Windows, why buy a Mac?
Windows PCs are less expensive, come in a wider variety of configurations and are universally supported in both 3rd party software and hardware.
This is really a no-brainer, at least to me.

Games.
It's looking like you may not be able to game with the new unibody MBP's due to over heating, even though the specs blow away the 17" dell notebook I bought in 06.
My next desktop is probably going to be a built watercooled game machine. I hear that the i7's are pretty much obsolete as Intel is planning on releasing the i5's soon.
