If you scrap on a Mac laptop

[Keely~B]

Can you tell me what your specs are and if they work for you? I'm trying to figure out what I'd really need and if it's a worthy transition. Our family has three laptops that are all trying to die at the same time, mine's the only one with enough oomph to scrap on. (but it's embarrassing what I go through to make that happen) I'm debating on biting the bullet and moving to a Mac but I'm skeered. I'm using CS3 now so I'd have to buy a laptop ( I don't want a desktop) and a new version of CS(hopefully a student version) and I'm assuming a new EHD. I'm just trying to figure out what I really want/need to see if it's doable. Do I need Applecare? Is the OS really that different? I'm not completely tech ignorant but I'm not super savvy either.
