I use both as well drisump - and I have to disagree -

Everything from taking it out of the box to interacting with customer service ticks the boxes in the Mac column. And, one of the very best things - no finger pointing with Mac. If the OS is giving you problems when you call AppleCare and ask them questions, they won't be pointing fingers at the hardware manufacturer. I just ran into this with a brand new Alienware I purchased (Mac comparable in pricing I might add - it was a very expensive machine, bought for gaming). Dell quickly pointed the finger at Windows when I called up with a problem, call Microsoft - why, no, that is a known hardware problem... the circle of frustration began.

I guess the old adage is true - you get what you pay for. With Apple you get a superior machine with incomparable customer service.
