I got a new computer from work last year. I spent quite a while carefully studying my options, and what I saw came down to this: If you're only looking for computers that are comparable according to the usual hardware specs (cpu, ram, etc.), a Mac costs 25-50% more than the cheapest comparable PC. If you also throw ergonomic factors like weight and battery life into the comparison, there's no price difference. (This was USA prices.)
