straight fanboy imo.

Why would you pay roughly $500 extra, and have to learn a new OS, to perform such basic tasks?

They use the same computing power as any other brand, they don't magically get Intel chips 3 months ahead of every other brand.

* The Apple 21.5-Inch iMac is the perfect Home machine. Upgrade to the 8-Core for more render power. I keep trying to talk my dad into getting this one.

Again, you are paying more for less. Why the hell would you pay a bunch of extra money for a machine that will only be rendering? If it's a rendering machine you need power, and reliability (and probably on a set budget, anyone big money has render farms set up)

* For 3D artists, After Effects designers and video render hogs (me included), I recommend the Apple Mac Pro. I have last years version of this machine and I LOVE it. It allows me to render and compress a ton of video and animate and composite 3D scenes.

Again, same fail, you're paying more for less.
The ONLY reason to buy a Mac, IMO, is for the screens. If you're a professional/student photographer/videographer and/or editor and need the wider colour gamut to ensure colour integrity, then buying a Mac is the simplest way to do that. I'm sure some other screens have the same abilities, but it would be tricky to hunt down.
As for anyone who actually has a need for the Mac OS for whatever reason, well they should run a hackintosh. Again IMO anyone else using a Mac is only doing so "because it's cool" and 99% of the time doesn't know jack shit about technology.
If you ever have computer issues, well I can only speak for PC's here but anything I have ever had come up (rare) can be solved with a quick Google.
