You know, most people that say that are not always being honest. Many times when you asked them why they chose one product over an Apple 99% of the time it is due to "price"... very seldom do you here... well, the other one was BETTER than the Apple which is why I chose it.
If you take cost out of the equation most people would prefer the Apple product.
Just like most people would rather drive a BMW over a Ford... BMW makes a superior product but it IS more expensive.
If Apple's didn't warrant the higher price, no one would buy them. But, the bottom line is that they usually are worth a higher price because it is a superior product.
No, I'm no Fan Boy, but I have used/owned Macs and I have used/owned several brands of PCs, Dell, HP, Lenovo, eMachines... etc. For example, you can get the eMachines for the same specs for MUCH less than a Dell... but the eMachines stop working after a few years. We have had 4 or 5 of them... and they all failed after a few years. All the Dell desktops I have are still running.
Anyway.. 'nuff said.
