For what? Spending a lot less and having access to ten times more software? No I like Apple but I'm fine with PCs. That's cuz I spent a lot of time learning. Things only a few people know and use. For those that don't want to learn or are intimidated by computers Mac is without question the platform to us.

Make NO mistake, 'under the hood' of a Mac is a LOT of functionality that few use. Just like Windows.
Too much is never enough
It's a better OS. I'd us only them if it weren't for he money.

you were formeraly able to save money NOT needing extensive antivirus protection.
That is changing and now several options exist.
going 'stealth' online is still a reasonable start.

For those that don't want to learn or are intimidated by computers Mac is without question the platform to use.That's not true and you know it. There are many very computer savvy professionals who choose to use Mac including those in STEM fields. I choose to use Mac (as well as Windows, UNIX, Linux) and I've been working professionally in the computer industry for a few decades now.

Abe you are just being a dick now. Mac is superior AND a better platform for those that are intimidated or have less skills. If one never used a computer Mac is way easier to learn and use and you know that. Jesus its way too easy to ruffle your feathers. CHILL DUDE! Stop taking it personal. You act like my comments are going to affect the the price of Apple stock and you own a million shares and neither is true. This happens between us every few months. Any time you want to stop acting out is fine. I will always call you out when you so. I am not the enemy. I'm sorry for not communicating this properly and making myself clear.

It's a bit more complicated. Like Abe, I use Windows, Macs and Unix/BSD servers. Apple gets a price premium, but the systems are more eloquent and seem to be more robust than typical Chinese PCs. Macs are simpler to use, but under the sheets, it's BSD Unix or Munix for Apple's mangling of Unix.
There's just tools.

I agree with pretty much all of that. I do find pretty much all hardware silly robust. Some of the things I've seen these things survive is amazing. Some of the MacBook connectors are silly. Bad idea on the PS jack being magnetized. Paper clips and other crap gets in there. All metal that can cause a short. Laptop mnitor inverters are no fun to replace no matter who makes it. There is a great used Mac parts place whose name escapes me. Great prices and service.

Huh? Really? Maybe you weren't aware of the innovation and idea behind the magnetic power connector on the MacBook Pro laptops. The point of having that mag connector was so it would easily yank out in case someone tripped over the power cord saving the laptop from dropping to the floor.
Unless you use that mag connector to clean up a shop floor, it serves it's purpose extremely well.
Unfortunately, Apple had to drop that innovation when they adopted the industry standard USB-C connector in it's latest laptops. We will no longer have the safety benefit of the magnetic power connector.
Sorry. I disagree. Ive picked metal out of four over the years. Staples and othwer bits can easily find their way in. I never saw a coaxial power jack not come out when a laptop fell. Maybe its my experience repairing that you probably dont have thatbrings me here. Regardless, no mas. They are gone.

Hey, I'm just calling you out on your comment that implies that Macs are for those lacking computer skills. No ruffled feathers here, and no I don't own Apple stock.
Edits: 01/11/17
Apple is better for those that have less than skills. You cannot deny that. Way easier to use than a PC. It's a good thing too.
It's also great for people of any skill level and for about EVERYTHING other than software availability find them superior to a PC. I said that already but I don't think you heard it.
