Macs all the way. I've been all over the hardware/software landscape, and no other package gives me less headache. The WAF (Wife Approval Factor) is high, both with her Macbook and our Mac Mini HTPC. The Time Capsule "just works" to back everything up. The iPhones (mine is provided by my job) "just work" syncing to the laptops and playing on our local network. With my (work-provided) MBP, I can hack everything from assembly to C to Java to Ruby with very little effort, at the bash or zsh prompt that I've been comfortable with since my first days with Linux back in the nineties.
Maybe a Windows 7 PC can do those things cheaper, maybe single people eat crackers. Either way, I don't know and I don't want to know - I've found what works well for my situation and I'm happy to stick with it.
