I also love cute little handbags, but if the law school told me I'd have trouble using a cute little bag to carry my law books, I'd likely opt for a more functional bag FOR LAW SCHOOL that would be better suited for what I intend to use it for. Even if I would usually prefer something else. Sure I could get both, but if I had to choose one I'd go for practicality.

Macs might be better for other purposes - I don't know, I've never had a mac. There might also be ways to sidestep the complications a mac would lead to (special software that may or may not be compatible with exam software, taking your exams in a computer lab, renting a PC for exam week). However, it's up to you and what inconveniences you're willing to deal with to have a mac.

If you're buying the laptop to use for law school, I'd buy one that's going to best fit your law school needs. When you graduate in 3 years you'll probably get a new computer anyway, and then you can switch to whatever you prefer. Law school is going to be tough, why make it any more complicated than you have to?

Are you in law school?
