Who cares what the computer looks like? All that matters is what's inside it.
At the risk of sounding redundant: taking into account that Immortal Goat does not intend to game on this laptop, what can a PC offer him that a Mac can't? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like Immortal Goat needs a simple, stable, compact (have you looked at those Dell behemoths?) laptop for surfing, word processing, listening to mp3s, and watching movies. Please tell me how a Mac would have trouble with this, because to me you just come off as someone who is extremely biased yet has little experience in what they are talking about. Anti-Mac zealots are just as irritating as Mac zealots.

And it may not be a factor for you, but Macs are aesthetically pleasing. You might not care what your computer looks like, but for others, it does matter. Just because someone would prefer to spend their time staring at a device that is pleasing to the eye as opposed to one that is functional yet bland (or in some cases downright ugly), does not mean that they need to go all iLife and grab a pair of dark framed emo glasses, crank up the Radiohead, and head over to Starbucks in their Mini.

But again, if it were me, I'd just get a ThinkPad and install Linux.
