We made the jump from PC to Mac in 2008, with a MAC-Book Pro. Five years later, the MBP still performs as well as it did out of the box, with the latest OSX version on it. Will a 5 year old Windows PC even accept the newest version of Windows? What percentage of 5 year old windows laptops are already on the scrap heap, vs Macs?
Yes the APPLE products are more expensive when it comes to that initial cash outlay, but over time, I don't believe that's the case. A major OS upgrade for my MAC costs a mere $29. And.... It does not impact my performance in any negative way.
Yes, APPLE controls all aspects of software and hardware closely, but for those of us who have no desire to "do battle" with our equipment on a regular basis, that strategy works.
We have the MBP, two iPhones, an iPad, iPad Mini, APPLE TV, and a Time Machine. EVERYTHING syncs and everything just works! No need for tweaking and troubleshooting on a constant basis.
Lastly, I use a PC at work, because that is all that is supported, so I believe I have a solid basis for comparison......
