Well my Dell laptop has just died a death and from the trouble I have had with it from day one I will never buy a dell again.

I have always been "PC" but due to exposure to my iPhone which I have been really impressed with I am slightly more aware of Mac products now- so much so I am considering getting a Macbook to replace my PC!

But I am concerned at the difference and if I will suddenly be unable to do things I can do with a PC - I have always viewed Mac products as being very inlfexible and not compatible with most mainstream software apps...

So I am basically looking for feedback from peeps who have been in a similar situation....I mainly use my laptop for office applications, web browsing/downloading/streaming, photo editing, studying and playing the odd game (World of Warcraft and will defiantly want to be able to play Starcraft).

Are there any major issues you see I might experience or weakness the Macbook would have over a PC in these areas? (Or indeed strengths!) And any other areas you have felt restricted since moving to Mac would be useful in case I have missed something here....

I guess as a comparison I would go for the Macbook (not Pro) or HP Pavilion Laptop, DV6-1140EA...

Many thanks for any feedback!
 
Thanks for the feedback some great info....I would definatly get a macbook (probably pro) but I have decided to go for a desktop now to replace my laptop.

I have been using a laptop since uni but realise that there is no need for me to have a laptop really so going back to desktop now!
