Okay, I have owned a MacBook, MacBook pro, iMac, Mac pro, and a MacBook air. And all have been in the last five years. I run illustrator, photoshop, final cut pro, etc. my MacBook pro lasted me three years when I stopped using it, never had a problem and it still works fine! Also have a three year old macbook my wife still uses daily. I was carrying it around a lot and just opted for the air because of size and weight this time. Plus the air basically caught up to my three year old pro anyways? I run these programs for fun, a pro would probably be better if it's your job all day every day though. My point is my air can edit video, photo, and vectors with no problem for what I do. I was a graphic designer and mostly use illustrator, but the video stuff I'm learning and haven't had issues yet with power, maybe hard drive space yes (but I think that just comes with video editing).
2. Never had a Mac crash or get a virus in 5 years - period. Best argument for me!
3. Do not simulate windows unless you have no other choice, it will just frustrate you.
4. Do not install windows as a separate partition, then you will be open to the viruses again.
5. I will never buy another windows computer in its current form!
6. Many tasks are much easier on a Mac once you learn, but it is worth it.
7. Make sure any software is available for Mac that you must have! Most are like office and adobe.
8. These are just my thoughts, what do I know! Just that I am happy with what I have. I could go on, but these are some of the points I thought I would bring up from my experience.
You get what you pay for!
