mac vs pc (non-fanboy answers)

[tadaka at gmail.com (Jason Wood)]

I like my mac because it's got a *nix shell underneath the hood, so it makes
a great admin platform.  It's also a good place to write/test scripts and
then deploy them to a server with little modification.

Besides every time I spec out a PC laptop with the video card and other
stuff I want, it costs nearly as much.  I bought a cheaper laptop once and
hated it for the 3-4 years that I used it.  When you use something all day a
cheap feeling keyboard, clunky mouse pad and mediocre durability becomes an
annoyance real fast.

Not sure if that would really justify it for anyone else.
