For the last half a decade I have been buying mac hardware. Even when I run linux on it I know that I can at any time get rid of it on the used market and get an insane price back. Compared to any PC, even when I would hand build them the value drop just to my house was always more than I imagined. Last year I was looking to maybe build a PC, looking on craigslist almost every listing was more expensive than if I bought the parts from newegg brand new.
