its really a question of personal preference. While the PC world gives you more computing power, memory and hard drive size for your money the Mac is a bit more stable. Now why is mac more stable? the simple answer is that you are stuck with having to buy all peripherals and other devices from apple. The pc world allows you to use devices from many manufacturers making it much more cost effective and the operating system of choice for other computerized technologies (think all those computerized medical and manufacturing devices). The mac world has always striven for a certain amount of snob appeal, a marketing technique used so that you don't realize that you are tied to them once you buy because they don't allow many third party companies into their fold. Having worked with computers since before the inception of the personal computer, I will stay with microsoft as it is the development OS of choice, after all, the PC world never saw a reason to emulate the mac but the mac world found it necessary to emulate windows! As far as cell phones go...iphone technology is incredibly limited compared to the android OS, that's just a fact not a feeling.
