It's finally time to get a new one due to a blown power supply and my "need" to edit on a big better faster machine...whereas my HP laptop only lasted 2-3 years. I’ve had my mac for 5 years.

It's the best machine I've ever owned. And I say that as both the aforementioned windows admin and as a guy who grew up with Commodore Amigas, which I still own and which still work. I have a few old Mac towers now as well - machines which are pushing far south of 5 years old... they are both running on OSX and both still working perfectly. The Apple products are more expsensive, but they hold their value for so long, it's worth every penny. Even if you buy last year's model, you'll get a machine that does the job for years to come. -Bob Here’s some real world experience for you from a guy who earns his paycheck thanks to microsoft products:

I just hope the rumors of the even smaller new mac mini (sans internal optical drive.. ouch!) arn't true. I'm all about improved chipset, not so much about needing to drop a couple more hundred to burn CDs & DVDs.. Dammnit Jobs.
