Hi Dina, Another vote for the Mac platform. Been using them since the old SEs. Much more stable operating system these days. Mercury just went "direct" the other week, so you're good to go in terms of buying now. ;-) I hope you'll be getting something with a larger display. I love the 24" screen on my main workstation! I use a smallish firewire drive for my workfiles that I bring with me when I'm on the road and need to use my book. I think that the fact that you're already familiar with Macs is a good reason to stick with it. Good luck!
