they day mac allows me to install their OS anywhere and stops charging me a premium for having to use *their* overpriced hardware is the day i'll switch. until then, i'm staying clear of hipster machines.

I'd like to start off by saying that what I wrote wasn't specifically directed at you, "sir".
Expensive? My macs were worth every cent I paid for them, compared it to the pc's I've had. They run without a problem since the day I got them. Never had to format them, and if I experience any little problems whatsoever, I know I can call Apple Care and within a min, I get someone on the line who will sort it out in a jiffy. As for configuring, I don't know what your talking about. The only thing you need extra, are a couple of dimms, a screen, and some software, which you'll pay if you get a pc too.
I don't even want to start on the issue of updates for pc's and where you should put them once you manage to find the right ones to download. With a mac, you don't have to worry about time consuming shit. Now you tell me what will cost you more on the long term.
I say time spent on problem solving, instead of getting down to business.
