I would value my time at over $100 an hour. At that rate the price premium of a Mac is quickly wiped out by a few hours spent:

* building a PC from scratch and installing whatever OS you like.
* removing preinstalled crapware if I buy an off the shelf Windows PC, or installing Linux / OS X and mucking around getting all the hardware to work.
* reinstalling Windows even once after your install gets trashed by driveby malware because your flash version is one day out of date.

If you can't understand why a professional in their field would choose to pay a small initial price premium to save time and to have the best tool to do their job, then you're a completely useless faggot who deserves to be shot and killed.
