Just to clear a small thing here, a Mac is a PC - they use standard parts, very similar to your Dell/Alienware Travis and your Sony Adam. They also run Windows.

Asus, Dell (Latitudes) and Apple are personal favourites but you'll have to sacrifice some performance with the Mac for the same price. The Latitides are business machines but they are good for work, although the speakers are awful, headphones are needed really. Asus also have a small premium over HP and Dell etc but they do build their own laptops, which is actually quite rare.

EDIT: A blue screen of death (BSOD) is when some OS' suffer an irrecoverable crash so they shut down to prevent more issues. The screen contains an error code and sometimes the name of the file at fault.
