Should I buy an Apple or Window's run laptop?

I'm planning on investing on a new laptop, but I'm not too sure what one to get. I have a lot of questions on the topic and would love you to help me out with them!
I'm a school student, so I can't afford a really expensive laptop but I need to upgrade mine, I have had it a while now and it's beginning to go down hill.
My choices are: Apple mac book, or an Asus laptop.
My parents have very kindly offered to buy me the laptop itself, but that leaves me with buying the software and things for myself.
Questions about getting an Apple product:
Do I have to buy Keynote, Pages, Photoshop, Numbers and all those separately?
Would my normal hard drive connect to it? ( it's an external hard drive but not apple)
Questions about windows:
Do I have to buy, Word, PowerPoint, Photoshop separately?

I have an iPad that I was given from my school, and I also have an iPhone, we use Apple Mac's in school so I'm familiar with Apple software, but I use Window's at home so I'm familiar with that too.
I use my laptop a lot with school work but I'm using the old windows… So I'm lacking a lot of updates that are available.
Although my parents said they would pay for my laptop, I don't want them spending loads of money and then having to keep paying out for things, so I want that laptop to last a fair amount of time.
I know Apple products are being increasingly popular, and I would like an Apple Mac Book but they are quite expensive, and to be honest if windows can offer me the same for less then that's a whole lot better! I love the Apple products, but I enjoy using windows.
Hope someone can answer my questions and break it down for me.

IMessage problems on iPhone 5?

My phone won't let me send any messages. Sometimes one or two will get through but they'll send as texts and not imessage. And the person who send a text to me, they come out as texts too but I don't always receive all of the ones that were sent. Also the hard reset doesn't work, I tried it twice

Reliable software for unlocking an iphone?

I have been given a second hand iPhone 3Gs by a relative that is locked to Orange however I have a sim for another network.

Does anyone know of reliable software to unlock an iPhone? I have tried the following but they do not work:

- The software (iPhone 2, 3, 4 unlocker v1.1) is demonstrated in this video along with a link however what is not pointed out is that in order to obtain the serial number you need to complete an online survey. After doing that you are provided with a serial number that does not work. I suppose the video poster must have got some friends and/or fellow spammers to post good reviews in the comments.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/atbrl9u66v3lptm/IPU±+Updated+++Working.zip

This file comes in a zip that is password protected. In order to obtain a password you need to complete a survey after which you will be supplied with an incorrect password.

So neither of these have solved my problem but I have gained a little satistfaction by reporting the spammers to Youtube and Mediafire respectively.

Added (1). Recovery mode and restore with iTunes didn't work. Now it seems I can't do anything at all with the phone unless I get a sim card from a supported carrier (i.e. Orange) or get them to unlock it. So I guess I'm just going to bite the bullet and hand over £20 to Orange.

Please DON'T try that at home.

Why do kids have Phones like the IPhone at such a young age?

I'm going to grade 8 and literally everyone in my grade last year had an IPhone or BlackberryZ10 except me. I didn't really care because I knew that I could still talk to people face to face. I wasn't until the last month of school until I figured out I coukdn't do that anymore. All of my friends had phones which they were over addicted to. Whenever I went to talk to them they wold always be on their IPhones. I tried to go and talk to them but they wouldn't put down their phones. So I gave up and started hanging out with my younger friends (Grade 4, 5, 6). But they also had phones, which they would never put down. Why does this have to happen. Can't people ever my age engage on real life conversation. I miss the days when kids would come over to each others houses hand out (play Video Games etc.) and have tons of fun just like that. What happened with the '00 kids?

Added (1). I'm not getting a phone until highschool, and that is my parent's final decision.
Oh and can't kids just get normal phones instead of smartphones. I think that only techsavy kids deserve smartphones and also if they are mature enough to put them down.

What is Apples policy on fixing Iphones?

My phone may have minor water damage. When I charge the phone, it will not turn on, but it does warm up from the charge. When I plug it into my Mac, an error message shows up saying "The USB device is using to much power, we have disabled it, to prevent damage to your computer", which shows me that there's some life left in my Iphone 4S. Will Apple fix a phone if I do not have insurance through my provider?

Also, are there any tips/ideas as to what could be wrong with my phone?
