Funny, my wife has a Macbook and I have a Dell and I love my Dell and I hate the MacBook. She tolerates it because it was a gift and it was a reasonably high end model, but she struggles with it constantly....
That's because both of you haven't learned how to properly use it yet - you been conditioned to believe that crap PCs work well. Once you learn how to use a Mac properly, you'll wonder why you ever used a convoluted PC. Macs are a helluva' lot more intuitive than PCs could ever hope to be.
Keep at it, or sign up for a course, if you need it. The learning curve for Macs can be steep, but it's well worth the effort to learn how to use it. I would never, ever go back to a PC - they suck compared to a MAC.
