The build quality is way above any "branded" PC I have ever used

This is something I have been saying for years. Forgetting the differences in os's, the physical quality/construction of any Mac I have ever owned has been far superior to ANY pc I have owned/used.

If you really want to see something intense, open up an iMac and look how it's constructed, it is truly a marvel of engineering.

I think Jobs was right in deciding to be the sole manufacturer, quality can only be properly controlled that way.
