This could be a hot topic, not worth any of our time, but...

If you were spend one year with a MAC and one year with a PC you would understand. Their is a big difference. My PC friends get a new laptop every 1-2 years with significantly reduced performance usually starting after 6 months. They also usually wipe the computer a couple times a year do to viruses, and those are the ones that know how to maintenance a computer. Whereas with a MAC, I’ve owned the same laptop for 8 years, and run very demanding programs all day and have seen no loss in performance, have never had wipe the hard drive, and have no need to improve my laptop. I’ve helped 10 friends switch. None of us have ever had a virus or needed to upgrade, although one guy did spill Pepsi on his and drop it. Since OSX, I would never consider Windows again. It is just a very bad product.

Kick it to me... I'm open!

Pretty much sums it up from a fellow mac user

even though Leopard is a pain in the rear sometimes.

Alright, I'll bite

The macs are really nice, I used to use one for my job last year (I ran Perl- and R-based scripts). If you have money and are doing a good amount of programming, I say you should get one. However, the actual speed of a mac and it’s cost is inane. I’m going to pay 2x of a computer that goes the same speed as a PC? Screw that noise. And it’s not like I’ve had horrible concoctions of viruses spreading around my PC; and I’ve had mine since 2005. As a matter of fact, I’m virus-free from what I can tell. I have two programs (Symantec and Spybot) that have been more than capable of handling my computer since 2006. And while I don’t play any video games on my computer, I have the option to since I own a PC, and not a mac — what games can you play on a mac anyways, tetris?

The only reason someone should ever get a Mac should fall on two extremes: the ones who don’t know their way around a computer, and the ones who have to run scripts or any other type of software engineering.

… or the ones with a shitload of money. So I guess three.

What?!?

I’ve been in the graphic design industry for about eight or nine years now. I cannot even begin to tell you how much more efficient Macs are over PC’s in my world. I have and do operate on both platforms to this day and will always prefer a Mac (as far as speed and overall efficiency.) Try opening up a 4GB file in Adobe Photoshop on a brand new boosted up Dell that cost between $4 and $5k after the upgrades. Then try opening that same file on a three-year old, base model, Mac laptop that cost around $1,200 when you bought it. The difference is astronomical and the older and less expensive computer, a laptop none the less, will always outperform.

And games, really?!? With the new intel-based Macs, you can run a program like Fusion, install the windows or linux operating system of choice, and run whatever programs you want, games or not. So that is no longer a valid argument. In fact, I’m running dual monitors and have Windows XP on my right hand monitor and Leopard on my left.

I have met plenty of people that have made the switch and have vowed to never go back. And it is undeniable, that Macintosh computers have less problems in most cases.

A 4-5k Dell and a 1.2k Mac?

Jesus Christ, do you get these laptops from a local coke dealer? Arguing that a pc will be more expensive than a mac is insane even if you’re in the industry of graphic and design, believe it or not.

Work vs. home (freelance)

And yes, my company spent 4-5k on a PC that held it’s on for about two years until it just couldn’t handle what we needed it to. It has since been replaced with a much powerful and, yes, more expensive apple. However, I purchased my $1200 laptop around the same time as the Dell was purchased, and it is still going strong. It can open the files and process data and information faster than the PC ever did, even at its newest and best days.

To some a $1200 computer is overkill, so be it. All I am saying is you pay for what you get and there are more than three generalization of people who need/use macs.

The tagline below nails it.
