For the people who are unable to use a real computer and load it up with spyware, adware, download every program out there, click yes on every command prompt, and generally don't give two ****s about their computer, then yes, I would get a beginner computer. Yes, a mac. After all, macs can't get viruses or anything, right? 
Almost all large networks are PC's running linux, which happens to be what the mac OS is based on also. PC's will always be better.
This girl I knew had a Mac laptop, it took her 5 minutes to load up photoshop. It was taking too long, so I decided to load up the harddrive and see how macs were layed out... but then I had to stop that too, because it took 5+ minutes to open up the hard drive. She needed to buy more ram just to make the computer usable. Forget performance and gaming, at least I can hit a couple keys and watch my windows fly around and such!
Yeah, that's exactly it.
. DOS here we come!BaaaaaaHaaaaaHaaaaaa!!!!!!!!Are you kidding me?????? The biggest fiasco and farse in the history of the world was caused by PC's! Have you ever heard of Y2K!!!!!!! The whole basis of a PC is flawed. Hundreds of billions of dollars were spent trying to "fix" your crappy PC's. PC's couldn't even come out with a decent operating system. You still don't have one. Microsoft had to copy Mac technology from 1983 just to get Windows 95. Way to go
You think Mac OS X, your "operating system", is oh so great? Awesome linux GUI Why don't you go play.... oh, wait, you can't. Well at least you can host... oh, wait, no one does that either. At least you can make a funny movie complete with an awesome soundtrack as to how bad PCs are.
. You pay a premium for a Mac, there is a reason, it is called superiority. The real free market is the stock market my friend. That is where you compare who is the best. Let's see, Microsoft shares closed at $30.89 today. Apple closed at $108.74. Hmmm, wonder who the better quality product is. Ya, but millionaires don't know anything . Rant over.
