Apple hardware and OS is designed to work together with strict quality standards. Not only that, but Apple support, whether in the phone or at the Apple Store is second to none. It is worth a few extra bucks IMO.

Exactly.
When we were running studios, we used PC's. It was nothing but an endless supply of hardware problems, replacements, fans that wore out, noisy hard drives, shitty power supplies, endless wires, and let's not forget, the near daily anti-virus updates, and the monthly OS re-install because a chat girl somehow managed to screw the machine up.
All the PC's and related hardware we purchased between 2002 and 2011, was all eventually trashed or given away (thank goodness for charity tax credits).
All the Mac's we have purchased since 2009 are still in operation, running perfectly, and with zero headaches.
Which machine is faster is not nearly as important as which machine is more reliable, and which one is easier to get support for. Apple wins hands-down. Reliability alone is worth the higher price.
