ok so i have officialy deemed that the person that wrote this is an idiot. you cant just go to any random store and check a computer on prices. you compare computers based on their computing capabilities. you find a pc that has basically the same kind of hard ware as the mac, and then you test them to see which one runs faster. cause i can guarentee that if you had gotten a dell that you would have had your issues delt with. and it would have been cheaper and faster than your oh so great mac. so simply your an idiot.

    "You're an idiot." Would be the correct spelling anyways. And, in this article it was mentioned that this wasn't a foolproof plan. Nor is it claiming to be definitive of Mac vs PC pricing and quality. Also, hopefully if you're so keen about which one runs faster that you've had time and resources to professionally test this yourself.

    Hee hee. These posts are really old huh?

    You really are a moron, (and you desperately need a grammar book. Now, I am going to completely dismantle your argument, but you won't believe what I say. Firstly, basically the same kind of hardware doesn't make a PC as good as a Mac. A Mac is plug-and-play. Always (with the exception of Bluetooth). Also, the supposedly cheaper and faster Dell that you claim is so much better is really not. Think of it this way: the Dell probably doesn't come prepackaged with Windows. The Mac comes with OS X. The Dell will probably explode within the week, and you will waste a few hours on the help hotline fixing it. And finally, the Dell will get a virus and you'll have to reinstall the OS. Now, let's replay the same scenario with a Mac. For ease of writing we'll use a Powerbook G4. So, you go to the Apple Store and buy the Powerbook. Take it home, put in the system disk, install. All of your configuration takes about twenty seconds, and then you leave the installer to its work. Then, you boot up the Mac. It works. And doesn't break. *insert angelic music here*. Then, you realize that you have great, easy to use movie editing software, much better than the cheap ripoff that came with XP. Then, you open GarageBand and make a professional quality song within the hour. You know the drill. Have I proven a point? (oh, and by the way, that subject that you're too idiotic to understand, it means: It takes one to know one.) that's all. Have a nice hour of troubleshooting.

    That may or may not be true, but you clearly need a grammar book. How about this: Go to Google. Type "contractions" and see if you find anything interesting. Come back when you know the difference between "your" and "you're".

      Well first off this post does not belong here.

      Secondly .. MAC vs PC is like Xbox vs PS .. 9 times the games for the PS or PS2 but quailty games always are on the xbox.

      Same thing with MAC n PC .. There are great games for both systems but not as much as on the PC but out of 300 titles on the PC only 2 to 3 are worth playing. lol ..

      I have both systems .. NONE are better then the other .. I like the mac for UNIX and its awsome front end ..

      I love the PC for the speed of something and wider choice of games.

      I probably would not turn on my pc if i bought a console. lol but hey ..

      Now into the downsides :

      Incase i get a PC wiredo which i know i will and a mac wierdo which i know also I will get commenting ..

      Listen .. these no bad or good or better or worse .. in the mac vs pc.

      This statement is fact.

      You got faster machines and stable machines.

      Everyone needs to let me troll somemore lol ..

      FACTS:

      MAC sucks
      PC sucks
      Console SUCKS!!

      now that we come to that where are you now?

      lol ..

      I enjoy both machines and think they are nice to have a change of enviroment as well as trolling for hours on sites like this that make no difference what anyone types its just there way of looking at what they want to express.

      NOW lets get into the real good and bad.

    Hi!

    Thank you very much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me ;^)

    Seriously though, as you can see, I tried in my comparison to be as accurate as possible and to put side-by-side the technical capabilities of two computers that each were the cheapest offered by the brands in question.

    I realize that this comparison is by no means scientific but I thought it was of interest — and still think so. Of course, the recently introduced Mac mini would justify a new blog entry by itself! 8^)
