I might have considered the MacBook Air over the MacBook Pro, if the prices had been a year ago what they are now. I've only had my MacBook Pro about a year…but considering I use CDs and DVDs quite a bit, I probably would have still gotten what I did—I got the cheapest MacBook Pro, and have no complaints a year later. I also know quite a few people who've had Mac notebooks of some sort for 3-4 years who have no complaints, either. I mean, like any computer, you're gonna have things happen that may be due to wear and time, but I've heard nothing but good things about Apple's service.

If you need to interface with a work system, be sure that if you do decide on a Mac, that you can do what you need to do for work. Lots of people I worked with at my last job were very upset when they spent $1500 on a Mac to find that they still needed a Windows based laptop to work from home.

I actually still have my HP notebook—I've been letting my dad use it for the past year since I got my Mac. I do agree with your assessment of making sure the Mac is able to do the necessary things if it'd be for work purposes—especially if it's going to be the only computer you have.
I actually find now that I'm so used to my Mac that using a Windows machine requires more thought when it comes to shortcuts.
This could also be because quite a few of my courses utilized Macs, as well, and I was using them in those before I even had one of my own.
