Apple make some interesting products... unfortunately you pay an awful lot for the sake of them putting a half eaten apple logo on it...
The other downside is that if -anything- goes wrong with it you are pretty much at the mercy of their tech guys. There's a lot more support for less cost with a Windows machine which is just as powerful and is likely to be something you are more familiar with.
If you are really in to your Photo's and Videos then there are options for that, but usually anything in this field is expensive. Adobe, who produce Photoshop etc, are now owned by Apple so you are still able to get to get top spec software for Windows machines.
The laptop market is quite fluid and where it is possible to get a decent purchase, it can be a minefield. For me personally, I've liked the look of a lot of the newer Dell machines - I have one myself. Previously I've had Acer machines, but these were bought for mobility rather than for performance.
As much as I find it easy to know what I want out of a PC, how to build them and choose the right components, I find it very hard to make recommendations as most people have a much lower budget than I do as I'm an enthusiast and with that comes some eccentricity.
