I personally tried going back to Macs (started out on them when I was a kid in the early 90's) by getting a Mac mini and I absolutely regret every bit of that purchase. It has just as many problems as any Windows machine I have owned.

I know the Apple fanboys will flame me on this, but don't believe the hype with Apple products. If you are a graphic designer then by all means go for it, but for anything else I wouldn't bother unless you can get a huge discount as mentioned above. Just my two cents.
If I had the money to blow on a Ferrari to use as a grocery getter, I would certainly purchase one. haha.
