Yet it's just as "good" as the PCs from any of the major manufacturers. 
We use a large number of Dells 690s and T7400s at work sitting next to 
the Mac Pros. If any hardware goes bad on the Dells I always insist that 
a tech comes out to fix it as I don't want to waste my time taking them 
apart. At least the Apple I'll take apart.

Unless it's a laptop, in which case I'll send that in too.
