PC or MAC - I'm thinking of taking a bite of the Apple! Thoughts?

It is just about time for a new laptop. I use my laptop as a full desktop replacement. Now I am very good with the PC platform (even considered the Alpha Geek in the office) I keep getting my eye drawn towards the new Apple Laptops. I use multiple monitors (only 2 for now), know I need 2GB of RAM, 50GB Hard Disk etc. I know that Office runs on Apple but any problems sending to the PC world as attachments. What about joining a workgroup in the office? Networking? WiFi?

My question is do you have any real world, in the trenchs, Real Estate experience with the newer Mac laptops? Do all the MLS platforms run on them? Is there a steep learning (unlearning) curve?

Thanks!

I would recommend not making a switch because of the incompatibility issues and the obvious down-time issues you may run into. Mac's are nice, but I personally want a smoothe transition to a new machine. I also use my laptop as my sole machine as well and just recently ordered a new Tablet from Gateway that's loaded and for an incredible price of $929 (Gatway C-141X). Not sure how long that price will last, but it beats everyone out there for a Tablet.
