Keep kidding yourself and the world just maybe Square
you too
All I can say about PC's is that over the past 8 years I spent £1,500 for my PC and that died
with a virus.
I then bought a Laptop £ 1,100 and that died with a virus.
Then bought another Laptop £ 600 that too died of a virus
All used with the most upto date antivirus software.
A virus that kills hardware, nice way to go were there sparks and all that.
Well.. the gaming PC that I mentioned has (of course) found an issue with itself as all the PC's I've ever owned seem to do, repeatedly.

I'm not sure it's been mentioned yet, but the 21" iMac's don't have upgradeable RAM any more. Just the 27".so when buying you have to spec it out for life
Just to throw a wobbly into the discussion, I'm running OSX 10.8 on PC hardware 😉
It's the OS which makes Mac's great - not their hardware (exception being the beautiful aluminium bodied MBPs...)
Yeah what do you do with it though? My macbook pro has done 3 years of none stop 3d rendering, video editing, illustrator, photoshop and web design software use every day of the week, it goes on at 10am, and off at 2am. Will never beat a mac in my eyes. Each to their own, but I do think the 'value' offerings out there are a false economy.
Our studio has 175+ Dell PCs that are used for 3d modelling, rendering and animation (in Maya & Z-brush), 2d art (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Painter for the weirdos), video editing (with Premiere,After Effects, etc), coding (Visual Studio plus all the associated middleware for different projects), world building and editing, audio and gaming (for lunchtime fun, lots of FPSes and swearing). Some of the PCs are never switched off - the owners of which get arsey emails from admin about saving electricity. 😛
I had an iMac once - admittedly it was one of the second generation iMacs, so quite some time ago. I can honestly say that I had more crashes on that iMac in one year than I have had on all of the Windows PCs I've ever used or owned in the past ten years. I do love me iPad though.

System 8 and 9 were not fantastic, I still have nightmares of control panel and extension conflicts. Thank god for Conflict Catcher.
I do so adore that gif posted above.
Nobody throws macs out because they are still paying them off
Always paid up front for mine and then they have paid for themselves in a few days. If you have to scrimp/save budget for a computer maybe you are better off with one of those £100 tablets that are so good 🙄

Clearly you're on a PC, and I'm on a Mac, and it works for me lol.

Yup. That's the reason.
