My now old Acer Ferrari is half way out the door so to speak

Any thoughts that can help me decide what to choose? I'm leaning towards IMac or MacBookPro , but i have Never used a Mac. Why I'm thinking of Mac is that they are on top of every laptop review I've read. And since I'm working almost exclusively with encoding videos, design & photo retouching I thought a Mac would be a perfect fit for me. The "only" problem I have is that I have no friends using a MAC, I have no means of trying before buying, so I would really value any thoughts you guys might have on the subject.

Cheers

mac pro. wouldn't use anything else.

it's different at first, but you'll grow to love it. leopard is a little wonky on older systems, but it's a brand new os, so they'll patch it up.

I second that. I have a mac book and i wouldn't use anything besides a mac unless you are into gaming.

Maybe look into having a friend build one(If you cant do it yourself)? I build my own. Ill never purchase a PC again due to the fact that I get enjoyment from building them, and I can do it for half the price if not less.
