Buying a PC is like throwing money away.
Mac is better in many ways. Hardware is better. Screen is better. Keyboard is better. Mouse is better.
The OS is very smart. Everything works. No wasting time.
For people like me who like computer science and tinkering you have unix OS underneath, which is an enormous bonus. I love using unix commands to accomplish more.
For home use it is beyond wonderful. Things that took me a long time to master in PC world, like video editing and making DVDs, are incredibly intuitive and easy on a Mac. Photo editing is much better, mostly because of color management that works extremely well. Applications that come with a Mac for free are extremely good and useful. For example, e-mail and calendar applications are the best I have ever seen. iMovie is a real gem, too.
They are always on. Unlike PC, you can rely on sleep mode, which means your Mac is always ready for you. No waiting at all.
I used to think Macs are not worth the money. Until I got one.
Every detail is PERFECT. You'll see.
Last, but not least, Macs hold their value really well. You can easily resell one for good amount of money. Unlike a Windows PC.
