Go to the nearest Apple store or Apple reseller and check out a MacBook
Pro. Why? Macs just work.

until they don't, and then you never actually know why the just don't.
Mac shops have the "Genius Bar" for a reason, you have to be one to
figure out why the damn thing just stopped working :-)
Having said that, if someone was to give me a G5, I wouldn't complain :-)

No genius needed, no IT department or manhours wasted with .dll garbage,
not to mention wrestling with virsuses or virus protection.

I've had about ten Macs over twenty plus years and seldom had to call on
outside resources.

And having actually ran my own Computer repair business for more than a few
years, I can tell you that Macs do in fact break down and when they do, that
little sad face is absolutely no help in diagnosing what the problem might
be. While everyone criticizes the BSOD on a PC at least it has an error code
there so you can start looking in the right place for a fix. My view is that
because there are so few Macs compared to PCs out there, the problem only
looks worse for the PC. and running any computer, be it Mac or PC without
some form of virus protection now days is an open invitation to wake up
sorely embarrassed one morning. While it may have been true a few years ago
when Apple had single figure market share, it is no longer so, as there are
a steadily growing number of nasties out there specifically aimed at the
naive Mac community.
