Reasons for me needing a laptop
1. I'm a college student who recently got into Starcraft and would like to play without lag
2. I use my laptop alot which is why I burned out my HP in two years.
3. I need something stable and won't cause lots of problems
4. Lots of memory because I take lots of pictures and plan on buying a Nikon for my birthday in near but still distant future
5. My mom is planning on moving far away
6. I am tired of blowing my money on HP pcs

Vista is not a bad thing as people make it out to be, so I wouldn't list that as a con for Windows or a pro for Mac. Also windows is more prone to viruses but if you install a good AV + exercise common sense you will virtually stop all attacks.
Factor in the huge compatibility bonuses that Windows has (watching starcraft one of them) and that Mac lacks and you have a no-brainer.
So really there is no reason to go for a mac IMO

You can also run Windows on a Mac, so you can have both if you want. If you can afford it, that is.

I love my mac.
I won't say I don't have regrets, but the new macbook pro's are a stunning piece of kit - no argument!

It all depends on what you are going to do with it. Games only? Work-related stuff? Education? Portable?
As mentioned above, you can have both OS:es on a mac. My Mac:s runs XP and Vista as smooth as my PC does. Practically the same things in them. Built the PC myself and probably payed 300-400 dollars less, on the other hand I had to take the time to build it, find the right stuff etcetera.
If you only want a machine to play games on - get a PC. If you want a computer for more than that, consider Mac. If you have friends who are using mac, ask them what they think. If you can, borrow one and try it out. I think mac:s are worth the money.

i have three buddies who are all abouts macs and they all run windows on their shiny macs they bought last year because every program they use requires windows
except all three of them run like ass and bug out constantly (which they blame on microsoft) so it's basically like a terrible windows machine that cost $2300 and does everything shittier
is that common

Dell
Mac OS X isn't the only OS that you can run on Mac, and Windows Vista isn't the only OS you can run on a Dell. This means that the only thing you need judge by is the affordability of the hardware, by which a Dell wins out easily.

No idea. Actually it should also work the other way round. I read that with lots of tinkering and half-legal stuff, it is possible to get Leopard to run on a PC.
