Nonsense. The only place they lag is graphics cards.

Their adobe photoshop is a lot better than windows version,but if its for general use i would just upgrade or keep your current system.
As for saving space you can always go sandy bridge and get like those small media HTC case or something similar.

Photoshop isn't any better on the Mac. The interface is just slightly different. It's purely a matter of preference.

Because those would not be an all-in-one unit with an IPS screen like the current iMacs.

The only reason it "seems more reliable" is because hackers focus more on screwing up Microsoft based stuff than apple due to who has more market share.

Theya re not 2x the price if you buy the base model/ Compare a base model Mac Pro, iMac or Mini to OEM PCs with the same power, formfactor and features, and the prices are within a few $ of each other.
Spread the FUD elsewhere guys.

Exactly. The IPS panel makes a huge difference. Go price a 27" 2560x1440 IPS screen, then come back and say a 27" iMac is overpriced.
@bettz - it's up to you. You'll have a much nicer screen and a smaller formfactor, but it will be slightly slower. It's more a crossgrade than anything.
