May I humbly suggest Linux Mint? I had all the same problems as you and I made the switch a couple months ago and could not be happier. It's been more stable, the monitor config is better, the UI is way better than unity IMHO. Also my laptop is running way faster, I'm pretty sure the switch freed up 250mb of ram. Anyway I've also been eying a Mac, but running Mint has been making it really hard to justify buying one.
