That's complete bulls***, most new Macs come with at least a GeForce4MX which blows away most prebuild desktop's cards. The somewhat higher-end ones come with a Radeon 9700.

I own a Mac and a PC and:

1. OS X 10.2 owns any version of Windows in any aspect
2. Mac hardware at the low end is cheap but gets insanely expensive the higher up (no real mid-point). I got an iBook though for $1300 and it has a 5 hour battery life. No PC laptop at that price has that kinds of batt life. The iBook attracts chicks too (I'm not kidding, I swear it does )
3. PCs are usually easier to upgrade and have more choices in the terms of software and OSes, but there are also many Mac-only pieces of software. Most Microsoft apps have been ported to OS X, including Office (sans Access to my knowledge).
4. Maybe pointless but Mac hardware is better looking and quieter.
5. UT2k3 won't run on a Mac because they didn't bother porting the code to OS X
6. OS X has never, ever completely locked up on me to the point where I had to force a restart. In Windows it happens occasionally in XP for me (of course my desktop has a ton of hardware in it compared to my laptop).

I was playing Quake 3 today (during class, no teacher, wireless network ) and was getting 70 fps, peaking at 80 fps, on an Internet game. On my low-end iBook.
