OK, so I've had mac's for about 2 or 3 years now I guess but before that always PC... I'm coming to the point where I need to replace my rather dead macbook pro and guess what? I don't have £1k.

So, I'm a graphic designer (using Photoshop and Illustrator mostly) and everyone tells me OHMYGOD you have to use a mac, a PC couldnt handle it. Which I think is a pile of bollocks. Is it purely just Apple's marketing that makes you think you need one as a creative arts worker or are they actually any better?

What's your preference? and why?

ps. In the offchance that this turns into a cage-match between Theo and Crablin I'm taking bets via pm.
