So this in no reason to buy a Mac over a Windows machine, but explains one reason why I love the Mac so much. It's the attention to detail...
I just recently got an HP laptop for work because I needed a Windows machine. And I got to say, the difference in unboxing a MacBook and a [insert other windows laptop here] is HUGE.
The packaging, the design, how everything felt, the whole experience just felt good with the Mac. Starting up the machine and even going through the basic OS setup was actually a pretty good experience. It was exciting, and it felt like something special.
The HP was shit. Ugly boxes, with excess packaging. Felt like a chore to open and plug it in. Then I boot it up and click through endless fucking nonsense of packaged 3rd party software just to set up the machine. The whole experience was crap and had no soul to it. By the end of it all, I was just annoyed. Now it sits there staring at me, and I hate when I have to use it.
But to me, that whole attitude and attention to detail goes beyond the packaging and marketing on the Mac. The form factor, the OS, etc. To me it's worth the extra scratch.
I just wish Steve Jobs wasn't such a dickbag.
