rationale for switching from PC to Mac when going 1:1

I'm needing to find the reasoning other schools used when switching from
PC to Mac when rolling out 1:1. We are in China and most of our peer
international schools have followed this path. Just wanting to know what
most influenced a school that moved in this direction.

Not trying to start any debate. Fully aware of cost factors, market
penetration of platforms, software compatibility [or availability] etc.but
would still like to know why a school ultimately decided on a PC to Mac
shift when rolling out 1:1.

Thanks for any feedback, private or public.

Bob
