Hey setzer557,

There are many great reasons to choose a Mac over a PC.

By choosing a Mac, you can escape from MS Vista and use the very intuitive, secure and reliable Mac OS X. Macs offer many great creative programs for video, photo, webpage and music editing, which are not included with PC purchases. Moreover, you can also get all of the MS Office programs for Mac including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. By choosing an Apple computer, you’re making an investment in a computer that looks awesome and performs exceptionally. It is much less susceptible to viruses, spyware and malware than PCs. Macs are rated extremely highly on ratings lists and often beat out all PC models – just take a look at the latest Consumer Reports computer rating where Macs took the tops spots for all rated laptop sizes. Macs also offer incredibly high build quality and an amazingly compact/light design. The last point to mention is that you can run Windows Vista or Windows 7 on the Mac, so you have a choice of operating system. Windows is included with Princeton SCI Macs ([Student Computer Initiative (SCI) - Student Computer Initiative (SCI) - Student Computer Initiative (SCI)](http://www.princeton.edu/sci)).

Bottom line, a Mac will easily last you through college, it has all of the programs you need for work/play, and it has an amazing design.
