I just did a laptop PC vs Mac comparison. As best I could, I tried to match the PC (HP) laptop with the new Macbook Pro 13.3 inch. Matching everything, the macbook came out to $1250 and the HP came to $960, including tax (I pre-loaded the pc with Student office 07 and the mac with Iworks 09). So the mac is about $300 more, but that's pretty good considering that the mac comes pretty packed with other software: ILife for pics and movies and music being the most obvious. And again, Mac's look nicer (something they always charge you for, PC or Mac), so I think it's about even in cost, though it doesn't seem it at first glance.
But that really doesn't matter if you want to play games that run on PC, or major in Art and Film, etc.
