My three best friends all got Macbooks. They would always talk about how their $1100-$1300 laptop was better than my $900 Dell. The specs were almost identical. All three had hard drives fail. Two of them had optical drives fail. Two also had battery issues to the point where if they take it off of the charger, even for 5 seconds, the battery dies. My battery lasts for less than hour now, but it is better than what they have. Two of my friends have since updated to the new 15" pros, which I love and wish I could get for my next laptop but will probably pass on due to cost.
My inspiron is still going strong with zero issues (knocking on wood like my life depends on it). While I do not feel that this small sample is in any way a representation of the overall experience of mac vs. pc, I do get a certain amount of satisfaction out of it because of the smugness and smack talking of my friends.
