You won’t want to hide your Mac in a corner of the den. You’ll want it front and center in your life. The Apple style shows in every detail, from its sculpted surfaces to its gorgeous Mac OS X graphics

Custom PC Case with dual Sony20in Monitors. Doesn't Need Hiding.
Connect your DV camera and turn your movies into spectaculars. Add graphics, titles, and sound effects in minutes. Then use your Mac to burn a DVD or post to your website

I dont know about you but this came standard on my PC.. Am i missing something ?
Just plug in your stuff. A Mac includes USB drivers for mass storage, digital cameras, input devices, iPod, and more. It can see Bluetooth cell phones and headsets, as well as FireWire cameras. No rebooting.
|
Thats All i do. Plug it in and it works....
How much time have you spent troubleshooting your PC? Imagine a computer designed by people who hate to waste time as much as you do. Where all the hardware and software just works, and works well together. Get a Mac and get your life back.
|
Ive never had a problem.. My PC just works as well....
Maybe if they added more games, a standard 2 button mouse, and the ablility to easily costumize the look, id think about it.

I used a pc for 6 years and still do, and was in denial everytime someone mentioned a mac, until I actually used one..
then it was like wow...
I developed video games, if that isn't cause enough to show I was hardcore pc (mainly because mac games suck, and are finally evolving into something playable) then i dont know what is...
and the reason most software is developed for a pc is because windows has saturated the crap out of the OS market...
The point is, I haven't had to uninstall any program because it didn't work properly on a mac, something that happened frequently on a pc.

Yes, but the security on a mac is also much better than of windows.

There are security holes on macs too. For example; http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34157 is a known problem.
I love Macs because of Final Cut Pro. Has to be the best bit of kit i've ever used in my life. Much better than the Adobe Premier stuff and Motion 2 is easy to use and excellent.
My Mac runs on 2GB of RAM and it is fast as lightening. Imagine 16GB of RAM in your machine! Awesome Core Duo 2 processors just boost the speed even more!
You can also Dual Boot a mac now which adds more flavour.
Anyways, the topic title states 'Do you have a Mac?' not 'Battle between Mac & PC' 
There probably is just as much reasons why to use a Mac over a PC and vise versa.
Macs are mainly for Graphic Designers, Video Editing/Animation work and Development stuff in my opinion. A lot of my friends and film schools all use Macs, the industry uses Macs to edit film and graphics because of the speed they can cope with and the ease of it all.
I have a Mac because i enjoy video editing, a little designing now and then and find it easier coding. Theres nicer coding programs. Mac OS X has a much nicer interface than Windows XP. Windows is just all crisp and sharp looking and is dull. Vista will just be the same but probably with more bugs

I looked at buying a mac, and personally it didnt interest me at all.
Still computers > mac's

I ignored all the bickering above, so I'll just answer the question.
I have a MacBook Pro, 15" 2.16GHz
