I use both PC and Mac all the time and don't have any particular loyalty either way since I don't care about computer operating systems as long as I can use them for what I want to do.

I must say, though, that Macs are absolutely beautifully made down to the smallest details. Some things that come to mind:

- Mac screens are gorgeous and good for color fidelity and off-angle viewing.

- The Unibody aluminum case is beautiful, and for the Macbooks they slip into a bag smoothly -- unlike most Windows notebooks I've used where there are protruding feet, batteries, jacks, or whatnot that snag on things.

- The magsafe power cord attachment is better than the power plug on any PC notebook I've used.

- The Magic Mouse inertial scrolling works wonderfully. I've tried many PC mice trying to find one that works the same as my Magic Mouse but they all fall short in one way or another.

- Closing the lid on the Macbook to go somewhere, then opening it back up instantly brings you back to a usable state. Most Windows notebooks need to do some "thinking" before you can start using them again.

- The iMac is a very nice all-in-one design that really simplifies the table top clutter.

It's true that if you look at specs alone, Macs will usually be a few hundred dollars more expensive. I personally appreciate the attention to detail and physical quality of the the finished product, so I consider it money well spent. But I understand that these things will not be important to many people, so at least there are many cheaper Windows notebook options.
