hackintosh here, I prefer to build small desktops with good gpu's and cpu's, apple does not really offer anything for me at the moment. Maybe someday they will come out with something between a mac mini and a mac pro

+1 OS is really easy to use, but the lack of power really puts me down....you can always run unix w/ OSX though :P

You might want to try resetting the System Management Controller. Different models have different ways of doing this. Check out this apple support article:

OS X is Unix, if you are running OS X, you are running on Unix.

13" Macbook pro and iPhone 3Gs owner, checking in.

I have been using PC my whole life, and honestly, it is so much easier and pleasant to use a Mac. Things are much more user friendly and things just seem to work better on a Mac. I can't even begin to name all the headaches that I have had as a result of something going wrong with a PC for me over the years.
