Mac's are nice. If you make a lot of money and can't be bothered to spend lots of time researching specifics then they are the way to go.

I've gone to a lot of meetups where people are good designers and developers but couldn't tell you anything about their machines. In that case Paying double for same PC specs isn't much of a concern, plus you get to fit in with every other designer (more important to people than you might think).

I prefer absolute silence or close to it, no noise at all of any kind when working. Most machines with an SSD and just an intel CPU with integrated graphics will give you that.
When you add a powerful graphics card, LOOK OUT! Things can start to get noisy.

The only time Apple was cheap is when repairing the mobile devices are Apple's are half (or less) as pricey to fix overall. The device line up is more uniform as well.
