Thats the worst word of advice I have ever herd in my life. The commercials are biaist, and half of them are exaggerated lies anyway.

The word on the streets is that Macs are better at editing photos and videos, I own a iBook, and have to say as for editing photos, its a little over exaggerated. I have noticed no big difference between a Mac and a Windows PC on the photo editing side, I use Lightroom and Photoshop, which work on both Windows and Macintosh OSX. I have found that the LCD's on Mac laptops show black a little bit better, but that is about it.

Stability wise, who ever tells you that Macs NEVER crash are Liars. They crash just as often as my Vista PC. The highlight on the Windows side now with Vista is that if you are editing a photo and for some reason Photoshop or the program you are using crashes, it save a copy of it so that when you restart the program you can restart. The new Mac OS that is in development has this I think, from what I read.

Macs have iLife though, but the Adobe Suite for Windows and Mac is much better than all the iSofware crap you get.

For categorizing, I have both Lightroom and Aperture, and I have to say that Lightroom, on both my iBook and my Vista machine own Aperture. It has so much more to offer. It runs kind of laggish on my Mac though, which almost any program does because I only have half a gig of ram on my iBook and paid almost $2,500 for it. When my PC has almost 4 gigs of ram and only cost me $3,000.

If you are looking to spend a lot for nothing, get a Macintosh. If you are looking for a bang for your buck get a Lenovo Thinkpad or a Acer laptop. Thnkpads have been around since DOS, and they have perfected the laptop industry, they make the best notebooks on this earth.
