My 10+ year old laptop is showing signs it's going to die soon. I mainly use it for surfn the interwebz, paying bills and the like. Current machine is an HP but I have no brand allegiance when it comes to computers. Although this thing has lasted longer than I expected and was performing fairly well until recently.

My work computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad which seems okay. No major complaints with it.

Any major advantages or disadvantages to switching teams and going with a Mac? My wife uses a Mac but mainly because that's what her employer supplied. She seems to like it better than windows machines she's had though.
