it all really depends what your uses on a computer are...
Ask yourself these questions:
Is the added cost for programs an issue? Keep in mind there's limited free applications that are worth the bother but that purchased ones are sometimes of higher quality than PC alternatives.
Do you have time for the learning curve?
Is $1500 for a new bottom end Mac worth it to you?
Do you plan to ever upgrade the machine's capabilities in the near future or is a re-purchase every 3 years acceptable?
Apple's memory management is ho-hum. Anything graphically intensive will suck the balls out of your resources. Do you mind having to put as much ram as you can fit as bios updates become avail for larger sticks hitting the market.
How hot is it where it will be located and is it dusty? Macs overheat very easily due to poor ventilation once clogged with dust.
These are all issues that arose when I made the switch to a Mac. I sold it within a couple of months. I will say this though, the administration and bundled features work FLAWLESSLY right out of the box. I have never seen a wireless card function so damn well before.
