answer:Disclaimer: I have never owned a mac and shouldn’t probably comment. However, I have 2 friends/coworkers who have made the Windows-to-Mac jump over the past year, and regretted it. Most of the people I know who love and swear by macs are people who have always had them (my friends in academia). Anyway, after a few months, each of these mac experiments ended in them selling their macbook pro on ebay. I guess my suggestion is to probably hang out for a day in the Apple store and try to use a mac. See if you think the transition will be fairly easy. I once thought I’d be able to transition from Android to iOS, but found that iOS doesn’t work for me at all. Also, it really depends on what you plan to use it for. If you’re torn between mac and an iPad, you’ll probably be ok with an iPad. If you were looking to run real full versions of Garageband, you’d have to go mac.
