"Just works" is subjective so it shouldn't be a purchasing factor.

More relevant to this conversation, Macs have a wide (and presumably well-deserved) reputation for quality, and Windows PCs have a wide (and presumably well-deserved) reputation for cheapness (both in the quality and cost contexts). Sure, that consumer Dell you bought might boast better specs, but these objective metrics do a bad job about predicting things like product quality or overall satisfaction.
