In my opinion it taints your comparison by reducing the pool of options you can draw from on the PC side - you might as well say you can only compare with machines of the same color, or only machines where the mouse plugs into the keyboard.
It's also a space savor -- it's the reason I got my iMac, it was cheaper then a Mac Book Pro and couldn't be stolen as easy as a laptop (I have heard in college laptops getting stolen) and it was a nice space savor -- and a lot easier then a whole desktop to carry around.
