That was at the very start of this thread. Someone wants the Apple
hardware but has most his software for Windows. Hardware-wise it might
be just the same components inside the boxes but what Mac users
appreciate is that Apple boxes are more standardized and have passed a
quality control an the manufacturing process. From this follows that
if you are working with the box you may suffer less down-time if a Mac
breaks down compared if a Windows only box goes belly-up.

For a pro user the highest priority might not be to get the most
powerful machine but rather the most stable one that may be replaced
with minimal down-time of shit hits the fan (and it will, sooner or
later if working fulltime with the gear).
