I'm going to purchase a laptop for school this weekend. I really like the Mac Book Pro, but also really like poker stars. Is it worth getting a Mac and going through the hassel of setting up windows on it or should I just get a normal laptop?

You can boot directly into Windows and run it just as well as any "normal laptop," so this is certainly not a reason to not get a Mac. Set up is not a hassle at all, unless you're really, really lazy.

if you're going to get a Mac, wait till Leopard comes out later this month. There is not point in wasting money on the upgrade when you can get it for free with a few weeks of patience.

FWIW, rumors are that Boot Camp (the software that allows you to dual-boot windows & OSX) will not be usable on OSX Tiger (the current version of Mac OSX) after Leopard comes out.
