Yesterday, a girl walking through a hall stopped me with something like "WOW! YOUR COMPUTER HAS A RED KEYBOARD... IS IT A MAC?!?"
No, I've had my days of Macintosh... it's great for just regular stuff like web-browsing, and it's also great for making designs, and it has some neat programs, like grapher, and iPhoto. But when you are constantly downloading strange files and open source GIS stuff, Mac just doesn't have the flexibility of windows (I know, I could run windows on Mac, but it wasn't the same).
But let me show you what I mean about the red keyboard:
Alienware lets you change your keyboard color-- I have mine set so it will change when I am plugged in or not plugged in, and if I'm doing a few specific apps, it turns green, just for kicks.
And here's another neat trick, the math reader. It missed the top derivative being a full one, but you can correct it (I didn't so you can see the difference). It's probably not a huge timesave if you don't have a mouse, but I can see how this would be helpful if you just want one simple differential or something in a word doc and you feel like snipping it as an image. Else I would probably use LaTeX.
