I prefer Mac because Windows laptops are terrible. When you compare machines similar in specs to the MacBook Pro, the price is very similar and usually at the cost of less battery life, lesser build quality and poor reliability. The Dell XPS or Razer Blade is the closest you get with Windows and they're just as expensive and plagued with way more issues.
For desktops, the Mac Mini used to be awesome because you could buy the base model and upgrade the rest but now the only thing you can upgrade is the RAM, which will save you a good bit... But the base model comes with a puny i3 for that price. No thanks.
The iMac is the way to go. The 27" with the 5K panel is a STEAL for the price. A similar monitor alone would cost around the same amount and what you'd have left wouldn't buy you anything past an entry level beater computer.
