A Macbook Pro. Is it worth it?

My GFX card fan is making a very bad noise. After building this machine from the ground up (of which I was very proud and close to bankrupt) upgrading GFX cards twice in a row, having to get a crazy fan for my blazing processor, burning $150 on Vista Premium, then another hundred or so on a 300GB harddrive so I could use Windows XP again... I'm getting severely tired of PC's.

So should I go for a Mac? I'd really dig a laptop that I could take to places outside of the house, sit and type out poems or stories. I love Photoshop, love clean interfaces, efficiency and simplicity. I'm getting into mixing and creating music all over again. I mean, I hardly play games on my PC as it is (Being content with running PS2 games I haven't beaten yet on my PS3). And since that's one of the main points I hear about why it's not good to have a Mac (And let us not forget this fabled "Bootcamp" thing)... What is holding me back here?

The cost. That fairly immodest $3,000+ price tag. Apparently you can pay for one monthly, but I'm worried. I suppose I should mosey down to one of those Apple stores some place nearby. Hmm... But, anyone who's got one: are they really that slick? You can say I would probably use one to the best of its ability. With that in mind, would it really be worth the price?

Probably not. Unless you want to buy into the "Macs are for artsy people" mentality.

...And the most important reason of all: Macs can't run games. You'll have to boot on Windows. Might as well just get a computer in the first place. It's trading overpriced hardware for overpriced software.
