I am notoriously cheap, but it was worth the extra money to get a mac as opposed to building another box. I would keep an eye on the refurb deals- I recently bought a Macbook Pro with very little difference in specs to the full price 'new' MBP. Saved about $500. Same warranty as new and I'll purchase applecare, so it's a good way to save a few dollars and still get the best computer out there.

I only ever worried about more RAM. The downside is that if something stops working inside a Mac, you're done. Take it back. And if it's more than a year old, you have a $2,000 paperweight. Made of beautiful white plastic. As a life-long Mac user, I never really had to deal with the hardware nightmares that most PC users have. I only ever worried about more RAM.
