There’s 2 great reasons not to get Macs:
1 - you can buy 2 solid PCs for the price of a Mac
2 - all the software is written for Windows. Yeah sure Mac can pretend to be Windows, but good luck getting support if there’s a problem, the companies support Windows, not pretending to be Windows.

Yeah Windows has problems. Whatever. It’s fast, it’s smooth, it’s actually pretty stable (I haven’t seen a blue screen in years), it’s cheap (if you’re at all connected to the industry it’s free legally), and there’s tons of software available. Sure you don’t get to be snooty about your OS, but only a pathetic loser takes pride in the OS on their computer anyway, and you wants to be one of them. Take the money you save buying a PC and go to the liquor store and learn to be snooty about something cool like scotch.

You can buy two or three Fiats or Yugos
for the price of a Ford or Chevy.

For less than a bottle of Lagavulin,
you can port your entire windows machine
into VMware Fusion window.
One can cut and paste across machines.
Share file systems between machines.
Share I/O devices across machines.

One can sandbox your Windows
machine from the Internet.

OBTW you will find out what the
technical term:
Benutzerfreundlichkeit means.

The ROI is far better on a Mac than a PC any PC.

Networking is absolutely seamless with OS X.

But you are an IT consultant, do what you please.
