I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and I'm really happy with it. It's fun, easy to use, and I can even run Windows on it, if need be. (God damn, I sound like a PR person right now.) Anyway, it's pretty good for art and music stuff (not that you can't do that on a PC, of course), and of course it works fine for general Internet browsing, emailing, IM, etc.
The 17-inch model is really a behometh, though. If you plan to actually carry it around a lot, I'd recommend the 13-inch or 15-inch models. I'm not kidding, the 17-inch model is f*cking huge. The only recommendation I can make for decent Windows laptops are the Lenovo ThinkPads, which are really nice and pretty affordable. |

I agree, if it makes you happy and you can justify the cost then buy a mac. If you want a quality built notebook PC then lenovo is the way to go.
