there is the benefit of macs not needing virus protection.
if you are a student, or can get someone who currently is registered as one to help out, apple gives a good discount on both the hardware and software. my daughter was able to purchase (actually, I was able to purchase it for her....) the hardware at 20% off, with a free printer and a coupon for a free ipod touch. then she had the option to buy an adobe suite for 80% (yes, 80%) off suggested retail. darn good deal.
check it out if you are able.
