Mac vs. PC

Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my laptop in the next month or so. A lot of people are telling me I should get a mac for my photo work, but it seems to me both mac and pc are running the same hardware, and I can get the same software. I've also posted this in the Mac forum.

So what is it that makes macs more photo friendly? No flaming or fanboys please.
