Yeah, I'm trying to gradually patronise the same attitude out of my sister
She wants to replace her knackered laptop and keeps on enquiring about Macbooks. Not for any technical reason, just because she likes the look of them. Currently their vastly exaggerated price allows me to advise her to buy a much more functional PC instead.

What do you mean when you say "much more functional PC" instead?
I like my Macbook, it's ace.

I've heard good things about them
But in the case of people like my sister, they get bought for style rather than substance.

Part of it's really just to save myself a headache, because I know I'll receive a phone call when the new laptop breaks down, and if it's a PC then I will at least have a vague idea of how to fix it.

It's quite fun learning a new way of doing things.
When I got mine, I thought I would install windows and use it about 1/4 of the time in windows, but I haven't used that once.
