That said, I understand I am not the typical user so someone who knows a lot less might benefit from a mac. For example my brother's wife's computer gets so full of spyware and viruses about every 4-6 months I end up fixing it because it is going so slow it takes 10 minutes to boot up.

Exactly.
people who build computers underestimate just how difficult it is for somebody who has no clue what even a GB is.
Saying macs are expensive and you could build a chesper pc is like saying a Ferrari is expensive I could just build a fast car myself for less.

sure maybe that guy who is an expert mechanic can build a car and make it as fast as a Ferrari but the chances are it's not going to be as visually pleasing and it's going to take him a lot of time which most normal people who have money just go by the Ferrari which also happens to come with a logo saying Ferrari or a repair shop they can drop off repairs or support they call for help.

I know I can build PCs for a little bit cheaper but at the end of the day if I have to have my staff to do it it's just easier to buy a mac.

That said if I need a really fast machine im building a pc as a mac would cost a lot amd that savimg of $6k is worth it but not a few hundred on $3k machine.

But yea its also preferance .....but oh year in can run windows on my macs too when I need both os which I often do.

Its hard for any sane person to deny that macs are expemsive but its also hard to deny they are the best out of the Box computer on the market.
