I have an apple and Microsoft computer, i would say Microsoft is way better as the apple is hard to navigate if you have never used it before

Mac, Is good for programming, graphic design, video editing, and possibly doing your dj-ing. The thing is, not all programs that work on windows will work on mac, and programs on mac will not work on windows. First you need to check if your programs for both dj-ing and your games are compatible with the mac os.I personally like PC better because it is used by more people, so I don't have as many program incompatibility problems.The bottom line is check if your programs work on mac, and if they do, then it down to your choice if you want to goto mac or pc. Either way it really doesn't matter as long as you can get your programs to work.Hope this helped-The Unfried Chickenhttp://www.unfriedchicken.com

Apple is better at avoiding viruses. They have a much better firewall to protect you, and the fact that people don't use Apple as much as Microsoft means they are also less targeted.The downside of that is that since fewer use Apple, it can be harder to find technical support close to home (since most places don't have any kind of Apple technician on hand).You'll probably also find a lot more games with Microsoft. Based on what you've said, I'd go with the Microsoft and find a good antivirus program like McAfee.If you get Windows Vista on your laptop though, you are going to be rather annoyed for a while everytime you try to do something because the program keeps asking you to confirm that you want to do what you just told it to do. After a while you get used to it though.
