Well this is kind of a mix between school and technology, but...

I'm getting a laptop for my graduation gift, and my mom wants to know what kind I want. A lot of my friends have a macbook or are planning on getting one, but other people have said that macs are better for photo editing and stuff like that. I'm planning on being a science major, so does anyone have any pros/cons to getting a mac?

I'm also torn between the two. I'm in need of at least a 2ghz prcoessor, and 1 gigb memory of ram. Any ideas? I'm leaning towards a Sony Vaio, but if anyone has a reason not to get it, please do share.

You shouldn't be. They're over priced much.

Not to mention the fact that with Sony, once you get something from Sony, you'll have to get everything else that's from Sony. That's how they design all their stuff.

A lot of my friends here have either ibooks or macbooks and they really like them. I have an NEC, which I love, but the apple system is so much more stable than the windows. I'm just not used to the whole no right/left click thing and navigating around on a mac still confuses me.
