Ok, so my whole life I've had PC's. Not neccesarily because I'm anti-OSX but more because Windows is more frequently used. Around a month ago I purchased a MacBook for iPhone development and all I can say is "What the hell is the fuss about!?".
You CONSTANTLY get Mac users coming on here ranting about how great they are. But I can safely say I can't see what they are on about, I'm not saying Windows is better but they are SO similar its unbelievable. I honestly can't see a difference. The most common argument I see is that Macs crash less, no they don't. On my MacBook I've seen more crashes on OSX than on Windows 7 but OSX just makes less of a fuss about them than Windows. I really like iLife, the Pre-installed applications and the look of the MacBook but is it worth spending £300 extra on? Probably not.
Basically I'd say if you're gonna spend £800 on a Laptop anyway then buy a Macbook but if you want to spend any less then don't bother paying the extra.
