please help convince my PC hubby I need a Mac...

[MamaBee]

*sigh* I'm having PC laptop problems AGAIN. This month's issue is that I'm working away and *pop* blackout, computer turns itself off. In the past, it did it once in a while and thought I was just overworking it (too much scrapping ) and it overheated... but this morning, I couldn't keep the computer on for 10 min at a time before it shut down on me.

So, in talking to the IT guy at work, hubby found out that they had the same issue with one of the computer laptops and Dell had to come in and replace all the parts. My laptop is only 4 years old... and already has a new fan, motherboard, and hard drive from 2 years ago... so to say I'm not impressed with my Dell, would be an understatement.

So here is my question... I would LOVE a mac... I have a desktop Mac that is 5 years old, only has PSE4 on it and not power enough to even run that (hence why I got the dell)... my hubby is a die hard PC guy... so he needs convincing that Macs are awesome.

Ladies - if you have a Mac... what stats do you have on it, laptop vs deskstation, powerful enough for scrapping in PSE or CS5 (if I get a mac, I'll probably only be able to afford PSE for the time being)... what else do you have running in the background... hubby is always after me for the amount I have open (6+ tabs in chrome, photoshop, word document, about 5+ folders, and IM)...

I think this is going to be my chance to get my Mac that I always dreamed of... or a my hubby puts it, "getting off his back about me wanting one"... but he has concerns about power...

Thank you so much!!!
