I have a huge Dell desktop in front of me and a Dell laptop, one is now a glorified music/DVD player and my laptop is unused. I really do like my macintosh better. I'm not suprised at the number of converts given the popularity of the ipod.
Got my Mac in front of me and my Sony laptop to the left with XP.
No comparison. The Mac is just better. Much less hassle. No dll BS and other assorted tiles that eventually fly off the roof during normal usage.
When the Sony dies it's a Mac laptop for me.
