Why does the world love Apple products?

So I'm a PC. You know in the commercials I am that dude standing opposite of Justin Long. Been a Windows boy since 1995 so you can understand my confusion with the world's obsession with Apple products. I get the iPod. I own one so I get it. Its a great device and improves with each update. But what about the Macs and iPads? I've own PC laptops my entire life and really never got into the tablet phase until recently. I really like the Samsung Galaxy (DROID) and was considering purchasing one. As fate would have it I now find myself in the possession of Macbook Pro and an iPad (Gen 1). After using both devices for about 2 weeks here is how I feel so far..... still confused.

Macbook Pro

So in order to ge the full Mac experience I decided to make the Macbook my main system for itunes. I copied all my music, videos, pics, etc from the pc to the mac and started getting busy. So far, not impressed. I dont see the hype. Its a pc with a slightly different interface. Mind you I did have to use Google to find out how to do things here and there but again I don't see anything that makes the Mac experience any different or better than the PC thus far. I am sure Da Man will point out a plethora of features I have yet to discover but up until that happens I have to say that the world's Mac obessision is basically buying into the hype of Apple.

iPad

So I synched up my iPad with iTunes and started going at it. So far again I am unimpressed. Its basically what I always thought it was.... a giant iPod. I haven't found anything it does that my current iPod doesn't. I can play the same games, music, videos and run the same apps. Granted its a bigger screen but does it merit shelling out all that extra cash for a bigger screen? I think not. I mean I was able to bash D.S. in Infinity Blade on a iPod while he was on a iPad.

This past summer I ran into the elusive Riley Freeman. I noticed his cell phone and asked "No iPhone?" to which he responded "iPhone?? iPhones are overrated. FU J-Rod". I couldn't agree with him more (Not the FU part).

Comment as you see fit.
