For a real answer? It depends. Macs are more intuitively easier to navigate, so if you're just planning on getting a computer for "everyday" things: word processing, movies, mp3's, internet, etc, a mac is a good choice. PC's have the edge if this is more business oriented: are you a Mech Engineer, using a lot of spread sheets and want the most hard drive space for the money? Probably a PC. Depending on your major, engineering for example, some software only works via pc. Mac's can connect into servers easier, they already have a terminal, and PC's can be a pain for that.
I've done the comparisons (at least for laptops), and if you match a PC laptop with a mac specification-wise (RAM, basic software, CPU speed) the macs cost about $200 extra (except for hard drive space, which PC's always give you more of, but more often than not you don't need 320 GB of space). So you're paying $200 for the mac style (admittedly nice), and the fact that Mac is a smaller business, so you'll always pay a bit more.
