More stable? Sorry but my PC's haven't really crashed since... well to be honest, I don't recall. Probably years ago.

That's fair. Not being able to afford the best tools doesn't mean failing to recognize that not all tools are created equal, so I'll concede the global currency arbitrage point.
Corollary: It also means not failing to recognize that there's no metric for which a Windows box -- hardware, software, ecosystem, resale value, App store -- isn't an inferior tool.
A mac is not that much more expensive when you consider you don't have to pay for the OS, don't have to buy an AV or office software. The rest of the cost is justified by the support you get, better looks and technologies, etc.
p.s. I'm also Romanian, I remember breaking the bank to buy my first mac.

I agree that the Mac it's more stable and fast but it is also expensive, at least in Romania where the average salary is ~600 euro.
