I've always wondered why this doesn't come up more in the mac/pc cost debate. The HP I was issued at my last job needed to be replaced three times in the eight months I was there. Current company issued me a MacBook air that I've used 50 hours a week for three years.

If you have a Microsoft EA, it's more complex, because you need to license any PC-like device as a PC.
