As for resolving problems then you can take a Mac back to the Apple store and have it solved, but I like the fact that with a PC you can try and solve it yourself (if you're into computers/IT that is). If for example a CD drive is broken its a simple case of lifting the case and swapping it for a new CD drive...with an iMac its got to go back to Apple.
To be fair, neither of those two examples should be any more difficult on a Mac. Some people are afraid of opening a Mac, as there's a perception that it's all custom hardware inside. The reality is that the CD drive, RAM, hard disk will all work on both (assuming they're the right spec - but essentially, off-the-shelf components of the right type from PC World can be dropped into your Mac). Apple don't actually make all the components themselves. If you take a peak inside an unmodified Mac, you'll see the familiar logos of Sony, IBM, Seagate, etc; bits you could take out and plug into a PC.
I've even upgraded my PowerBook, (which originally came with a DVD ROM drive) to a generic DVD-R recorder I bought off eBay. The hard disk in it has been upgraded a couple of times as drives have gotten bigger - just using standard 2.5" drives bought from dabs.com. Apart from the stuff that is soldered onto the motherboard, pretty much everything that you would normally upgrade/replace on a PC, you can do the same on the Mac.
