ADK Pro Audio PC VS MacBook Pro



I'm in the market for a new laptop, and have a fairly generous budget (under 3k). I've always been a windows guy, so my inclination is to stay there. That said, I've been wanting to try out a Mac for performance/live recording work since their 8 hr battery popped up, and now that they're supposedly getting cooler(temperature wise) cases, and the new sandy bridge from Intel, and possibly 11 hours of battery life, it seems like it might be the time. My largest concern is the fact that I have a working setup in Windows 7 64 Bits with my current ADK laptop setup, outside of occasional pops and hiccups(mostly due to RAM I believe):
Intel Pennryn T8300 2.4g
4 Gig RAM
160 gig Hard drive

As much as I want to want the Mac, I feel like the wise thing is to get a PC. Am I crazy? I guess I'm looking for opinions revolving around using Ableton Live and Reaper within a Mac environment. Anyone use both Mac and Pc regularly, and notice a big difference? The videos below should give you an idea of what I'm using the computer for. Thanks everyone!
