[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1373089, member: 45350"] 1) The $1300 differential is overstated . . . do a thread search here and you will see this has been discussed to death. 2) Actual cost difference for similar build quality and specs is around $200. 3) You can run all of your existing software on a new Mac (just purchase and install Windows and you're good to go) 4) The real big advantage though of a Mac is OS X (stability, far less Malware etc) But, there is a learning curve and if a Windows laptop will meet your needs (especially since you are doing this for a living) by all means get one.
