I prefer the way my Macbook organizes its files, as it's simpler to locate and to label folders with Snow Leopard than it's been for Vista or 7.
Got a very good processor and graphic cards for what I paid (I received an educational discount). Very stable, moreso than my Lenovo desktop has been.
The screen is great, plus the battery life is good.
Looks nice, but that's a minor part of the equation.
Oh, and I had some Mac software from when I worked in public schools, so it was nice to use those as well. Guess I should note that I have Parallels 5.0, so I have access to my PC software as well.
But it really comes down to preferring the Mac layout to the PC one. Same might hold true for several teacher-types as well. Oh, and paying $200-300 more than a comparable PC was worth it considering the software costs (iWorks 09 being half the cost of Office 2007 and contained more features, for example) balanced it out in the end.

Yup, I bought a netbook and it's better than any amount of money I could have spent on a laptop. *NM*

Mine are portable design machines, so my aging Powerbook will likely be replaced by a Macbook Pro. *NM*

It would be fine while in the room. But I go to college in Boston and live in Louisiana.
