It is a little hard to compare price point by point. You are maybe getting less memory, but a better OS, probably better customer support and manufacturing QC with a Mac. Get a Mac MapleLeaf!
I didn't see anywhere that the OP posted that he was having problems with spyware of virus protection. The OP's computer is 2 1/2 years old and is having some issues, it could simply be a bad application, or a hardware problem.
Claiming the Mac has better quality control than a PC is like comparing apples with oranges. There are $300 PC notebooks, and there are $3000 notebooks, if you compare the QC of a PC notebook in the same price range as a Mac I'm sure you'll see they are very similar. Of course the high end PC's will have better QC than the cheap ones, even Apple has quality differences between their cheaper machines.
And lets not pretend that Apples are perfect, plenty of people have had issues with the new generation machines.
