ehhhhh, this is not a free consultancy company where you can sit back and we do some theater for you. pictures are all over the Net and if you search for your applications yourself (eg. the ones you use) you'll find them as well.

back on topic,

you're choices are (a)Mac laptop or (b)PC desktop...

wouldn't your first step not be to decide between a laptop or a desktop? or to decide between a PC or a Mac? search the forum and you'll find a gazillion topics about this.

i think you need to do some more homework.

Why don't we take a look at your post first:

After reading your 3rd grade level post I'm not sure how proficcient in Windows you are.. I mean, yes XP was designed for idiots but this is stretching it...

Ok that aside, iBooks are designed to be powerful, cheap, and have good battery life. Obviously on a PC notebook you'll always get one of those 3, and not the other two.

Your software woes are PC vs mac not desktop vs laptop. The very same software that runs fine on mac desktops will run just as great on a mac laptop, and in this case you are buying into one of the best unix based OSes there are, especially because of the sheer amount of games available on Mac OS X compared to any other unix based OS.

If you'd like a concise listing of apps available for OS X, try http://www.apple.com/macosx and http://www.apple.com/games/. In general, most Windows apps are available on OS X.

In your case you will probably loose no apps at all, if anything gain a few, learn some unix knowledge, and not have to worry about maintaining your computer, if at all besides backups.

You neednot run scandisk every week, defrag every month, run virus scan every month, keep your definitions up to date, and worry about the registry.

One beautiful thing about OS X is that you can totally back up your computer simply by dragging your home and applications folders to external storage (CD-RW or hard drive), and you'll have a complete backup. If something ever goes wrong you simply reinstall the OS, drag home folder from CD to proper place, and all is as good as it ever was.

Of course, this is highly unlikely, most mac problems can simply be fixed by clearing firmware (OS problem), resetting the preferences (app problem), or um.. yeah that should do it, and if not then the "archive and install" option in OS X is great because it takes your previous system and dumps it into a "previous folder" without deleting any of your old data, at all. It even includes an option to copy your old files to your new install.

So there you have it, hope this helps!

In this particular instance I would recommend tan box running Windows 95.
