I am looking at purchasing a laptop in the near future, probably a mac, but have no idea about them. If anyone could help me out that would be really cool. For example;

-Should I get a Mac?  
-What sort should I get?  
-How much will it cost?  
-What is so good about them other than they look better?

Cost isn’t really an issue because I can get it veeery cheap through my dad’s company. As soon as I have the money I’ll buy one. But I’d just like to get an idea about Mac’s in general before I commit to spending the cash.

Even links to sites which review/give information on mac pcs would be great.

Thanks.
