I'd go 100% Mac if my adaptability systems would work better.

I have a Powerbook Pro whos screen went dead after 2+ years and Apple wanted $1000 to fix it. I bought a new Toshiba laptop with that money instead.
My ex biz partner did regular repairs on his fleet of Apple products (i remember for example him having to exchange an iMac screen).
My colleague just had his battery in his Macbook replaced because it was starting to expand and blow up the case (just a few weeks ago - it's a known issue).
I recently had to return a used iPhone i bought for testing because of a defect, my current one doesn't let me type in the pin code on every other start and i have to force a reboot.
And it's not that I am per se against Apple - hence I find these discussions pointless - it is just my personal experience as someone who worked with and owned both, did PC sales and repairs for a living for a while and worked for 2.5 years in a company that had only Apple computers (and even servers).
Using Mac OS or Windows (or Linux) is a matter of personal taste and Apple hardware is massively overpriced - considered it is normal PC parts nowadays anyways. And not any less prone to failure.
But I do admire how Apple fans can look beyond all that with this Gollum twinkle in their eyes when looking at an Apple product.
