I am a PC. Or am I?

Now that I'm using it every day, it's become clear that my laptop is no longer fit for purpose. So I need to replace it.

I've started looking in stores, and online, to decide what I want. I'm looking for a highly portable laptop with great performance, and I've been looking at the usual suspects such as Dell, Acer, Toshiba, Sony etc.

But for the first time I'm considering moving over to Apple. Someone at work showed me the new MacBook yesterday, and it ticks all the boxes for performance, portability, security and of course fantastic usability. It's also very cool, built as it is from one solid piece of aluminium.

So I need to decide. Should I go ahead and move to Mac, or should I stay with Windows? If I go with the Mac should I go for the new aluminium MacBook or the white one that's £400 cheaper? If I go with the aluminium one should I go for the higher spec. or the lower spec. that's £200 cheaper. Is it worth spending money on additional RAM and/or any software?

And how would I continue to use my favourite mind mapping software that's Windows only?

I'm open to advice....
