Operating Systems, you wouldn't need two computers... Can you name that personal computer manufacturer that sells hardware that can run, natively, both Windows and MacOSX? And you can boot on whichever one you want so you aren't locked to a specific operating system...
I won't tell you to "buy a Mac"... because that is not an appropriate response to your question. The appropriate response is, "Maybe, if it is what you need".
I use a G5 flatpanel iMac and a HP/Compaq NC6220 laptop.
What would you do with an Apple Macintosh running OSX? If all you are going to do is "go on the internet, homework, and play computer games" and you are some how convinced that "Macs and Windows tie on the internet part" (there's this thing about viruses and security hacks that I don't need to deal with on the Mac side - but on the PC side, that's running me extra time and money keeping the various security applications current - so I don't know how that means they are equal, but this is your thread), but your homework and computer games are Windows strengths, PLEASE stay on Windows. It would be a terrible waste of elegant technology for you to not take advantage of the built-in iSight camera, the bundled iLife applications and all the other cool stuff OSX and the Apple Macintosh hardware platform allows.
I suppose it would be fair to ask why your homework is a Windows strength... Does this have anything to do with Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint or does your homework require some sort of Windows-only proprietary application? If so, the Mac hardware will boot to Windows.
Being a parent of a a son in college, I really don't care about the games - and while I understand they are important to you - this particular aspect is really not worth my effort to discuss. I would much rather people at school spend time actually seeing and speaking with other REAL people - learning about other cultures, learning about art, getting to know their neighbors, helping the environment, capturing and editing video of reality, doing volunteer work for not-for-profit organizations with a good cause... jeez, there is SO MUCH FUN REAL STUFF TO DO and you want to do virtual stuff... whatever... but, for the sake of providing some sort of response, if it is that important, boot the Mac in Windows.
Anyway, if you have to ask the questions you are asking after seeing what you have seen... please stay with Windows. It's all you need...
OK, I would like to begin by saying if you are a die hard, uber mac fan whose only 3 words on this post will be "buy a mac!" without any explanation, please refrain from posting. However, I have kind of a dilemma on my hands. I have several friends with macs who only say how great it is, and I've tried it out and it looks pretty cool. Now, I'm kinda tight on cash, but I won't be getting another laptop for awhile (I just bought an HP DV6000Z), so I was wondering if I should get a mac way down the road. However, this is the problem. There are pretty much 3 things I do on my computers-go on the internet, homework, and play computer games. Now, Macs and Windows tie on the internet part, but the other two are Windows' strengths! Also, I cannot afford to get 2 comps. So, the question arises...Mac or PC? I will also repost this in the PC forum so I get a fair response from both sides.
