I think Macs these days are more about the image than the actual product.

A lot of people get them because other people have them and they seem 'cool' but they don't really understand why they would need a Mac.

I find a custom built PC will far out perform a Mac and for a fraction of the cost. i dont like Safari, iTunes is crap, I'm not keen on the latest OS but it's slightly better than windows (well, Vista).

Also, the most common defense for a Mac is 'it's so easy to use'. Maybe (actually yes) but if you're having probs getting to grips with computer basics then you need to look into it before you get left behind completely.
