Parts were important may be 20 years ago, these days almost all computers are made of the same parts.
Apple computer isn't going to be faster than a windows computer, it'll most likely be slower. Apple's implementation of the operating system sucks and has sucked from day one. If you install and run windows on the same machine along OS X you'll find out that Windows outperforms the OS X (similarly for computing power Linux outperforms Windows on the same hardware).

As I posted earlier Apple is a design company so all the extra money goes into a sexier looking computer and much more intuitive user interface.
Look at straight razors, when they're made very pretty they can sell for several times what an ugly one that shaves just as well, or sometimes even better. When people have disposable money they can pay a lot for bling.


So it depends on how much you value your time. If you don't like Linux (my parents who don't know much about computers prefer it to Windows), your only options are Windows and OS X, but the later may be a bit expensive. It does come with various rather programs already in, and the Apple's office suite is quite a bit cheaper than Microsofts, so the price difference may not be as drastic at it seems on first sight.

Keep in mind also that things change, most quickly in the world of Linux, but also Windows 7 may not be so bad as whatever you had wasted weeks with.
