Mac vs PC (not sure if this is the right forum)

I'm looking at buying a laptop, and I immediately assumed I would get a standard windows PC computer. However, my sister just bought a Mac laptop, and she's been raving about them. Which is better?

I would need it to do all of the standard things a college student needs a laptop for - email, browsing, and the like. I would also need to use it to complete a minimal amount of programming, as I will have to take a few low level programming classes for a business information systems major.

I might minor in film or music, which is where the mac sounds handy. I hear they are better for that sort of thing, though why, I have no idea.

Finally, I want to be able to run games. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I do enjoy playing games now and then (think guild wars, call of duty level games).

Suggestions? Thanks.
