Why does the media worship Apple?

The first problem I'm seeing in this thread is people buying prebuilt. If you are buying prebuilt you already fucked up, regardless of what OS you run.

Some of us don't have the time (or patience) to sit around for 6-8 hours building a computer and loading an OS onto it.

Time IS worth money. If you like building a computer yourself, great. But some of us feel there are better things to do. I spend all week ripping apart computers, installing new hardware, updating OSes, etc. I don't feel like doing that shit at home.

I also don't change my own car's oil or work on it at all, even though I am entirely capable of doing so. That's why I have a job... so I don't have to work on shit I don't want to do at home. I'll let someone else do that for me.

It doesn't take nearly as long as that- maybe 2 hours. And its worth it when those two hours save can save you anywhere between 1-3 grand plus you get a much better quality machine.
