All I can say is dont get a mac book becos its cool. If it breaks its going to cost you to fix it. Its not like a windows machine where the parts are easy to find - charges cost less than 2K a mac charger is within 15 - 20 K last time I checked.

I dumped windows and mac - am running on ubuntu simply because i dont to pay for the license and ubuntu works as better and uses less resources just not that use friendly.

I would advice you to get the windows machine. It should much better than a mac - i dont think a mordern mac machine - even used could be sold at 90K - For 90 K you can get a high end brand new windows machine in the states that performs just a good as any mac - runs every software, has a large range of free applications or paid.

Post the specs of both the macbook and the lenovo PC. The macbook might have a core2duo processor and 2 gigabytes of RAM, so that wouldn't really be a good deal. Based on the specs of both PC's, we can help you make a better informed decision than just riding on the laptop names.

Whilst Lenovo are known as the most widespread Windows automakers, you still have to be wary of them and superfish (Don't get me wrong all computers are easy to penetrate and cause malice...There is a removal tool for superfish anyways. In all honesty, I've never tried Macbook's before, but if it's a Macbook Air from 2011+, I would say go for that. If you can get your hands on a Lenovo Thinkpad T410 or T420 get that instead. Just my 2 cents.
