Simply put anything you can do on a Mac you can do on a PC and vice versa

negative.. somethings require a full .net frame work not some thrown together piece of shit half compiled library that macs use. But the switch from PC to mac is very easy. If you can use a PC, you can use a retard box (mac). If you do common everyday things like word processing and downloading a mac is good for that. I do processor intense computing with special drives so there's no way that a mac would suit me. A mac mini can't even handle a bluray drive. 500 bucks, for what? I could take that same $500 to tiger direct and build a computer that would rival a mac pro that could also run osx better than any mac on the market today. Bottom line is if you do regular run of the mill things and want to impress people by how much money you spent, there's nothing wrong with stuntin, then yeah get a mac. But if you actually want to learn and understand how things work get at least a windows computer. from there, the possibilities are endless.

I plan to use it for my phone, work, docs and I need to be able to carry it around everywhere.

As far as software and things like that...IDK.

why don't you just get a net book then?

^^^ I'm probably gettin an older Acer Aspire One pretty soon (Intel Atom N230, 160GB HD, etc). The one that shipped with XP on it instead of Win7 like they all have now.

I want it to take on trips to play movies, offload pics I take from my camera, and dink around in FL Studio.

I've been more than pleased with my netbooks. I had a dell mini 9 and now I have a mini 10. Both ran OSX flawlessly. I upgraded my 10 to a 640gb hard drive and triple booted it with win7 and fedora 13. Great on trips and great for anything you need to do. I tether it to my evo now and have internet access at all times. not bad for a $230 computer.
