I had a PC all my life, but decided to get a mac in june and I love it. I got a macbook pro 13" and will never get another pc again. I am not a fanboy or anything like that, but I have had a ton of pc's and after a few months they run slow and constantly get viruses. I haven't had any problems with this computer yet and I have a friend who has had the same computer for 5 years and it still runs as smooth and fast as the first day he got it. Yes, they are expensive and you could build a faster pc for a fraction of the price, but the macs are great and simply just work. I know that people will get mad at me for being team mac, but I have had both and love the mac. As for the air vs. pro, if you don't need the power of the pro, the air is a great computer. Again, please don't call me out for hating on pc's--I'm not trying to start a fight here, just stating my opinion...plus we are all on the same team here on these boards. Thanks
