Just to say, my destop windows computer at home is like that. it reboot something about once a month because I hate loosing even few seconds for things to be available. it fast, lean stable. But I built it myself, don't do stupid things like downloading ilegal stuff or installing app all the time so it rock stable.
My Linux latop at work is also quite stable and run for weeks/month. Same strategy. The linux is more annoying definitely because it is not as user friendly. But for a dev machine it is really great. Everything standard, the same as in prod, lean and extremely fast.
Mac are also lean and fast, but for the same hardware you pay twice as much.
Example my work laptop is a DELL, they brought it 2 years ago, it is an i7 4core 3.4Ghz + HT, 512GB SSD and there hardware support for encryption (intel vPro processor) so the full disk is encrypted but extremely fast. There also 16GB of memory. The cost was a bit less than 1300€. The most similar spec macbook pro, 16GB, 4core i7 (a bit slower actually), 16GB RAM, 512 SSD is asking 3300€. Almost 3X more expensive and for the price, well, the CPU is a bit slower and it isn't specified if there hardware support for encryption...
Actually there no macbook pro bellow 2800€ that has a 4 core processor. I switched from mac to windows last time because of that. I got a desktop for €700 that had a 4core i5 and that processed my photo twice as fast as the dual core laptop macbook pro I had.
You have to be carrefull of the PC you buy, that true, but if you know what you do, you get more for your money with a PC than mac.
The best mac are actually the cheaper ones. You get the mac experience, lean/fast on very basic hardware that work well. The price is ok. But if you need something powerfull, apple put a huge tax on you.
Well if I didn't have a mortage for my flat, I would likely had brought mac again. I would be able to spend 3X time more to also get the refined design and all. But this is a luxury product.
