I honestly run very little on my MacBook since I remotely admin and work on Linux boxes. I have to deal with users on Windows so the Mac gives me MS Office but it also doesn't have to deal with the issues around Windows using CTRL-C for copy and UNIX using it to break out of a program. The Mac keeps these separate so the integration of the GUI with the shell is excellent. Also, I really like the keyboard and trackpad on my MacBook, and the screen is fantastic. For an admin on the go the Mac is far better than anything else. As for the cost, I typically get 5+ years out of my Mac laptops and I've yet to break one so by the time I've done with them, they still have value to others. Windows laptops I destroy in a year so for me Windows machines cost me a lot more.
