I was reluctant to invest in an expensive Mac for years. I've always wanted one though. Hehe.. they look fairly cool, but they seemed slow compared to Intel standards.
This summer, I just took the big leap into it and invested over U.S $3500 in a TiBook. I mean, I could have totally wasted my heard earned cash on this (I bought it in Asia, for half the price in my homecountry). After 3 months of use and some newbie Mac problems (how to change the root password etc) I'm amazed how much I can do. I don't even care if it's slower than an Intel PC or not. I don't know really, I've not found comparisons charts on the net.
But just the integration of different apps into the OS rocks. The whole interface plays with my creativity and I can produce a "ton" more creative work with this PC.
PS. I'm a graphics nerd, so Mac might be right for me, but not for everybody.;)
