Sure, I don't disagree - there is so much cheap junk PC hardware that the average PC is probably a good deal less well built than a typical mac... That said, there are enough decent manufacturers that offer appealing products at various price points. Macs still sometimes are a bit proprietary also, which can make maintenance more arduous... that said, "maintenance" for most mac users is "take it in for service"... or buy a new mac...
To me, the OS is the big difference and there are some nice things about the Mac OS and Windoze has it's pros also... really depends how one works I guess. It's funny because I know lots of people who really struggled with Windows, constant issues etc and for them Mac's OS was a godsend... but I don't tend to have issues with Win and find Mac a bit less productive, almost clumsy... well to each their own I guess! Good to have choice.
I kind of also agree with Jerseysaab re the cloud stuff... not a big fan. There are some pros, but wow, lots of opportunities for trouble... eg I installed dropbox recently to access something - default is to throw every picture that comes into your machine up into the cloud without telling you. Nuts! I sure hope MS doesn't go overboard on the rental software thing. I can see a few benefits, but many downsides as well. It does seem to be the business model of choice these days (software as a service).
