Well, the first thing is to ask yourself is what are you going to do with it?
If internet browsing is the only thing it will be used for then perhaps an inexpensive netbook will suffice.
If you need to take notes in the field, then perhaps a tablet with pen (Toshiba Tecra) is what you're looking for.
If you're looking to run serious design and engineering software (Solidworks) then the Apple isn't going to cut it.
If it is non of the above, then perhaps an Apple is in your future.
If you are near a Best Buy, you can go down and check out both Apple and HP side by side.
