I prefer using Mac, not saying it's better or worse, just a preference.
They have some interesting systems and just announced the updated iMac which looks very interesting. The only thing it lacks that I would like is a 27" retina display but that is probably still too far away - will have to tackle production issues, and some new way to drive the display, I don't believe any current interface has the bandwidth for a 27" display at retina resolution.

Macs are great, I'm using them at work, but the price/performance is nowhere near a self built PC. What's the price for a Mac with specs like that:
i7 quadcore @ 3.5GHZ (like for example the 3770k)
32 GB RAM
nVidia GTX 660 or similar
128 or 256 GB SSD
3 TB 7,200 RPM drive
Here in Switzerland, this PC will cost me around 1,500$. The equivalent Mac Pro is easily over 3,000$.
edit: actually, I just checked on the apple website, and it's more in the 4,000$ ...
