The ability to run either windows or mac os (or with some other software, windows within mac-os). Extremely well made, innovative designs, (arguably too artsy), and competitively priced (when compared with an equivalent windows machine). So, my input for what it's worth, is that macs are the way to go. I was very impressed to find the main panel of the machine was 1/8 thick aluminum, with excellent fit and a gasket seal. And there is almost no plastic in the machine. That is, compare processor specs with Dell and you'll find the MacPro is cheaper for an equivalent machine (or it was the case 2 years ago). Now that they are intel based, you can indeed compare Apples to Apples (sorry, bad joke). My main machine is a MacPro, I bought it 2 years ago when I needed a workstation class machine. Sadly, I couldn't say the same for most of the windows PCs I've owned, ProE tends to be a bear to run. For what it's worth, I run ProEngineer and ProNC on my macs (under windows), and it runs happily. Push 'option' after you turn it on, and you can choose which operating system to load (granted, you must purchase and install windows yourself, Apple won't do that for you). The newer macs have intel processors, and as such, can run windows natively, sadly, I must run windows, at least part of the time. This used to be the case, but fortunately no longer is.
