I bought a MacAir (1st Mac computer in my life) a little bit less than a year ago. And I am not a fanboy; however, I realized that the advantages of the operating system justified the price.
I have the knowledge to install Linux on any modern PC. However, I was limited on the amount of commercial and useful software I can run on Linux.
I still prefer Ubuntu, but as a commercial operating system, Mac Os is better than Windows and 2nd after Ubnutu. Of course, that's my opinion, but it is coming from someone with several Microsoft Certs already passed
....
I can't find or install MacOs (legally) on any other laptop. Plus the look and elegance is unique. No one can't deny that when buying a product, we also want something elegant and nice, that's part of the whole deal.
Now, this can or cannot be a solid argument to you or others, but the most technical people I know at work (and some famous hackers out there) use Mac products. Reason being? it's Unix roots, which you get out of the box.

I do not run or use PC Games ;-) ... I use my PlayStation for that. So I do not need a PC.
