I agree with KCB about quality. I purchased what would be considered a "top of the line" Mac to replace my old one and the screen has been damaged twice requiring a $600 repair each time. The first I have NO idea how it happened. One day I just opened it up and it was damaged. The second one involved my baby pushing it off a table (it fell about 1 foot onto a carpeted surface with very little force). I've never worked with a computer with such durability issues. My first Mac bought in 2010 has been a beast. I upgraded the "brains" for $300 and it's like new.
The learning curve for me was about a week. There are lots of super helpful threads in this forum. Some software requires you to purchase the Mac version. I would check their policies so you are aware of whether you'd be require to replace some of the programs you have, so you're not surprised.
Generally speaking, I prefer my Mac. The positives outweigh the issues I've had. I still use a PC for work.
Good luck with your decision.
