Any reason to choos iMac over PC?

Other than to integrate iPhone, iPad, etc.?
Looking at a Dell Inspiron with an Intel Core i5 3.40 GHz processor with 8 GB RAM and 1 TB HD for $550. I know the video card isn't great and it doesn't have an SSD but it won't be a gaming computer. I just can't see paying at least double for an iMac unless the performance is that much greater.

It doesnt have to be a Mac, but get a laptop with an SSD. The only bad thing about an SSD is not being able to go back to an HDD after you use one.

But I wouldn't get a Dell either. Better to have someone build it for you. Cheaper and higher quality.

The iMac looks better. I know that's random, but our computer is the living room so it's good to have it look nice.
I use it as the front end of my stereo. I have ~1Tb of lossless (redbook) music that the iMac sends to an Airport bit correct. From the airport to an external DAC then out to my integrated. We can use any device to access iTunes or play directly from that device.
I'm sure any computer will do what I need, but it's nice to have one that looks good while doing it.

For starters those are great reasons to get one.
The other main reason is you don't have to run Windows.

If your using music/video editing software macs are better IMO.

Don't have to deal with all the virus & antivirus bullshite with a Mac.
Macs last longer and are more user friendly IMO. They are worth the extra money IMO.

If you want develop apps then a Mac is almost necessary. Otherwise no.

I'd never EVER buy a Dell. Literal pieces of shite!

I'd definitely recommend a Mac over dell hardware, if your budget allows.
As far as Mac vs. PC it's all about preference. You can do a lot better than a dell Inspiron on the PC side of things though. I haven't seen them hold up well over time.
