Well, they pushed Apple into Intel PC hardware standardization, which is responsible for dropping the costs of Apple's products dramatically. It forced them away from their proprietary hardware, and onto the lower cost Intel platform.
That cut costs by fucking half right there. The truth is, Apple had always been a software company, but they thought they were a hardware company. Now, realistically, they have evolved into a design company. That model seems to be working, and in terms of cost is way more efficient. They seem to be on a roll with successful product designs for a while now.

I like the form factor, and the design. Compatibility is also paramount in what I do. Apple's hardware (with rare exception of late) offers that almost flawlessly. Other brands haven't delivered that well in this regard, so for me it's worth the premium for what I do. I also often need cross-platform compatibility, which it delivers positively top notch as well. Sometimes, you do get what you pay for. Apple laptops continually rank as the very fastest Windows machines available. Hate if you want, but you don't look bright doing it. Computers all suck. The trick is finding the one that sucks the least for what you need it for. If it costs a bit more, but it just plain works for you, then it pays for itself.

You also don't have to worry about compatibility of hardware issues.

Fusion is better, handles memory better. Boot camp is a better option if you are running high end software though.
Actually you did care because you did your research before hand, you don't have that issue because you have that issue resolved prior to assembling the computer. However, it was an issue when you first started picking out parts to purchase because it is always an issue with PCs. The Macs are meticulously designed to where the issue is never one you need to worry about because the issue never reaches you at any stage. The same can't be said for every PC maker out there. There are always compatibility issues with them even on the over Mac money high end PCs.

That runs OSX with the same compatibility? Remember, I said cross-platform. I don't wanna jerk off hackintosh on the rare occasion when I need to boot into OSX for something. Again, for me, it's worth it. It fits what I do, it saves me time, and hassles. It more than pays for itself. If what you do works for you, be happy.

Not in music, it doesn't. More and more Logic is outpacing, and literally replacing ProTools.
