Don't trust the opinions of a bunch of forum goers who haven't even owned a mac. I use a Windows XP PC at home and when I'm at work, I use my MacBook Pro (which my last employer bought for me and let me keep when I was laid off). I find the MacBook Pro to be a far better computer to do programming on. Web surfing is identical on both thanks to Firefox, and I can do all my word processing and spreadsheets for my business on either one as well. I use either one interchangeably though there are some features like Expose on the Mac OS that I greatly prefer to Windows' alt-tab.
I'm not sure how it is today, but at the time that I got my MacBook Pro (about 3 years ago now), it came with bluetooth, a built-in camera and mic, pretty decent speakers, and extra USB plugs on both sides for versatility. At the time, it wasn't a "standard" feature for laptops to have 56k modems, 802.11b/g wireless, AND gigabit ethernet, and DVI output for an external monitor. If I had bought the "high-end" PC laptop at that time, it probably would have been missing one or more of those features without connecting an external PCMCIA card or dongle of some sort.
Because of that, my 3-year old laptop is still well-able to keep up with current software and still fulfills all my needs without yearning for an upgrade.
I won't pull any of that "it just works" stuff (although it's true!).
And, just to round out my technology, I also have a little Acer netbook that Blazer got for me and installed Windows 7 beta on. I use it when I'm at my store when I need to be super-portable but I need a bigger screen than my BlackBerry Bold allows. 
I'm the bawss.
