Everyone here is quoting special needs... which really wasn't the point of the post.
Macs are GREAT for general purpose web 2.0 style computer usage. Seamless(ish) integration to your multimedia gadgets (iPods, cameras, TV tuners blah blah) and Teh Intertubes. It does most other stuff passing well (plays most games, runs windows if you need to) BUT I wouldnt recommend it for business office use, nor any other special needs (high end twitch gaming, supporting other kinds of operating systems - which I actully do on a mac but meh, you know specialist situations)
