The arguments for Macs usually go something like this:
You just don't understand
Better support
Better hardware
Worth the money

Well, you're right, I don't understand. I can agree with better support. I cannot agree with better hardware. And I cannot agree with worth the money because there is no way that better support is worth that much of a price increase to me.

I don't have a problem with Macs really, you guys just need to come up with better arguments or be willing to admit that you don't mind paying more money for a sexy machine, with better support.

In August I spent $2,500 on the following (no monitor):
i7-3960X CPU @ 3.30ghz
10 GB RAM
2 TB HD

I added the following two pieces of hardware, these are included in the price above.

What would a comparable Mac have run me?

And for the record, I spent about $8,000 on computer hardware last year, so I can afford a Mac just fine. I have had no problems either.
