If you're a developer or sys admin, sure. Or nowadays, if you're a gamer.

If your computer work is anything else, Macs are still decades ahead. With the highest quality software available for any task at cheap prices.

I can't work with a sub-par e-mail client, calendar, no good invoicing app, photo editing, etc.

And web apps do not cut it if working with these things is your job.

As for grandma and grandpa, iPad is their solution. With all the faults of the devices.
