Writing this from a 2010 MBP. When I bought it PC laptops were just horrible beyond belief. Full of stickers and adware, creaky plastics, horrible touchpads and keyboards, etc. To this day it has worked perfect. Battery still has 89% capacity and with a SSD upgrade and adblock it's as fast as I need it. OS X works and looks about the same. Meanwhile I've seen lots of Acers die and Windows being the fiasco it is. So in my mind Apple and OS X has been a really reliable work horse that I don't need to fuss with.

In my mind Apple does great hardware, but that only matters for mobile. I would've gotten a MBP if I hadn't wanted a stylus. If you're doing a desktop with OS X, you overpay and have no flexibility compared to what you'd get with Windows. I confess that I've seldom had the Windows stability issues that people always mention, so I don't see that as a big deal.
