If you want a Mac, get a Mac. When it's all said and done, both PC's and Macs have their pros and cons. Write a list of what you want the machine to do, how you plan to use it, go to a couple of suppliers and ask their advise. Have a budget in mind and stick to it.
People tend to be passionate about the communication devices they use and will spend an enormous amount of time refuting alternative systems. My household has 2 iPads, 2 Mac airs, 2 iPhones, 4 iPods, 4 HP laptops and a desktop PC. I will switch between my laptop and Mac for different applications and use my iPad for browsing, meetings and presentations.
Shop around and make sure you get the best machine for your requirements (within your budget). What ever you get, it is always like Christmas taking it out of the box and firing it up for the first time.
