well i didn't mean the "you buy your little cousin" literally. 
I'm just asking if you think macs are good enough and would  you recommend them to someone or use them yourself.

thanks all for your responses. 

What i find interesting is that people who don't realy do programming, or gaming or whatever, still insist PC's are better. They just go with what they hear. I'm not a gamer, and don't care about gaming. But everything else I"ve done everything on my mac with no problems.
