Speaking from personal experience, I have had absolutely terrible
experiences with Apple support. The last issue was finally resolved
when I started discussing small claims court. There was a time 8 or 9
years ago when I was the tech support for a school. Apple stiffed me
with $22,000 worth of bad computers. Yes, I hold a grudge.
However, having said that, let me note that Apple has the most beautiful
interface ever. It is all done to Bauhaus/international style ideals.
Everything is is controlled very precisely. You will feel more inspired
while using it. See:

I do all my work on a pc (Dell.) The bottom line is that I already own
the software and know the interface. If you change Operating Systems,
you will likely spend far more replacing the software than you would
spend on the actual computer.
Did I cover all the bases?

we can argue whether CR is subjective, I guess. I
