Runs cooler than any PC laptop I have used (big advantage if you are using it on a lap)
Even the basic Macbook is powerful enough to run Vista at a fairly reasonable rate.
OS is well integrated with the hardware (no need to mess around with drivers, everything just works usually).
Bluetooth support
802-11n Wireless (OSX seems to handle wireless more reliably than Windows as well) at both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz, as well as 802-11b/g at 2.4Ghz support. Obviously you'd need an 'N' compatible router though. The advantage of 5GHz is that frequency band is less suscepitble to interference from other devices than 2.4GHz.
Can run Windows (upto and including Vista).
Built in webcam.
disadvantages:
Cost
PCs at same pricepoint tend to be more powerful.
Not really poweful enough to run decent games (although the MacBook Pro is).
