text: should i get a new macbook pro even though im an accounting major? im an accounting major and im worried that i wont be able to use it in my field.  but i think the mac has microsoft beat in graphics and innovation. i'm not biased @ all seeing how i have an old mac and lots of pcs. unless you're going to use a program that only runs on windows, go for a mac.  it'll be so much easier to use vs windows. it'll be very fast and do what you need it too.  and if it only runs on windows, if the rumors are true about the next version of the mac os (which you'll be able to install if you buy it now) it'll have "virtual pc" inside the os itself. so you could run windows inside the mac os, and run that program also
