Actually Macs are made out of basically the same hardware as PCs. Using components from Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Gigabit, ect. Store bought Macs and PCs are pretty much the same on the inside. The Real difference is the OS, the case, and how it looks on the outside.
Oh, and the price tag. 
Example.
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
MacBookPro 15 inch.
2.2GHz Intel Core i7
500GB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6750M
15.4-inch LED Screen
Price. $1,800

DELL Alienware M17x R3
2.20GHz Intel Core i7
750GB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6870M
17.3 Screen
Price. $1,650
See, the PC has equivalent or better hardware for a better price.

you're thinking again as a gamer. Gamers will never love Macs because they're not moddable. I think a lot of people will prefer Macs as soon as game clouding will start to be distributed on a broader scale.
Of course the components are the same, what did you expect, Kryptonite processors? Apple develops their MoBos though, and that makes the difference.
Have a look at the interiors of a macbook air, it's a masterpiece of engineering, plus they offer you product warranties, support and even the possibility to run your beloved Windows if you really want to, all in a package which has specifically developed together with the OS, to ensure performance, safety and longevity.
Our procurement team has listed a looong list of advantages of Macs over PCs, you pay more for it yes, but it will last longer.
