the point is, the mac is a more stable system with a lot less need for maintenance, and they just flat out last longer... and even if i do pay more, you're forgetting that mac's depreciate in value a thousand times slower than PC's do... i feel good knowing that when it's time to get a new computer in 4 years, i'll be able to sell this thing bone stock for $500+
i got a 6 year old powerbook with an outdated ass processor, and i can sell that thing on ebay for $200
