I'l get my Go For A Mac! bit out of the way and share some thoughts.
Wireless internet - what do you mean? Wireless within the confines of your home/office - or wireless everywhere? Within your home/office you'll need a wireless card and a wireless base station/router.
I've had great success with wireless in my ofice. One of my clients subscribes to a wireless provider, and they love it, although they don't like the cost.
Gaming: there are more games, more readily available for PC than Mac, but both systems will work.
Downloading, surfing the net, email, word processing, burning CDs & DVDs, etc, etc... is the same on both platforms.
The iBooks are great computers that carry good price points. I haven't been shopping for a PC laptop in a long time, so I can't share any insight there. Unless you feel the need to have all your files with you all the time, get a big internal hard drive and a bigger off board drive - you'll save money, and get more storage.
