RawAlex,

Saw that article as well.

"Apple has won raves over the years for its sleekly designed computers. The company, with a market share of around 2 percent, is able to command higher prices due in part to Apple machines being perceived as more secure and reliable than PCs running Microsoft's Windows operating system."

If you wanna check out a Mac to just try why not pick up an older iBook from Ebay that has been upgraded to OS X and get a feel for what you'd need to buy software wise for it to be useful to you?

Go to a computer "superstore" if ya can and just look at different models. A lot of notebook look great these days.
