Mac vs. PC


I am due to buy a new laptop and so am considering switching from a PC to a Mac (probably a 13 inch Macbook Pro). Over the past couple of years some of my colleagues have made this switch and are happy with it. I welcome other views. John Fjaerestad sent me this link which appears to have lots of useful info and practical tips for physicists who make the switch to Mac's.

Something I have heard enthusiastic reviews about is Papers, the program for organising ones files and files of downloaded papers.
