You are the best example of a Mac fanboy to date. Thank you.

LOL

1. Macs are more expensive. (I have done price comparisons on individual parts and they are actually relatively equal in price for the components but they might not be the parts I would choose and they are usually impossible to swap out unless you buy a more expensive tower system)
2. My biggest complaint: PC’s are easier to build from scratch and upgrade, replace things unless they are a laptop in which case you are just as screwed on a PC.
3. You have to get a ridiculously expensive Mac to get one with a 3d card for gaming
Those are the reasons not to buy a Mac

1. OSX is a rock solid stable OS the updates are almost invisible
2. I can leave it running for 2 months straight without a slowdown or a crash.

Apple as a company makes some crap though: Itunes & Ipad for example are far too proprietary. The Iphone is better in other countries where AT&T have not put limits on its use.
3 Intel Macs can run Windows software easily.

Firewire was invented by Sony. Apple pushed to use the technology as a way of keeping their old on video editing at the time.

Saying Mac VS PC is silly. PC is not a company.
OSX vs Windows. OSX is more stable but there is less directly compatible without additional software. (Price wise OSX is low enough that adding most of those additional softwares will not make the OS more expensive than Windows unless you choose a softare that requires an Install of Windows)
OSX vs Linux. Linux is very cheap but it is less intuitive to work on. A little sweat would make linux better. You can run Linux on any Mac or PC though.
Mac vs HP/Dell/Compaq? Mac is a more solid machine
Mac vs home built or high end build? Pretty close on hardware specs. Home built has an advantage as stated above.

Honestly, I don’t give a rats ass what computer someone else uses. I use a PC for games and a mac for everything else. And if anyone gets in my face about it like I should care I do the civilized thing and remove all their teeth with a baseball bat.

The article reads like you never actually used a computer and gathered info from here say. Kind of like a Fox news commentary or something.

1) Mac does perform better than PC
2) Mac is much more expensive than PC
3) Key Point: the cost/benefit ratio is disgustingly skewed!!! for the incremental performance advantage of Mac, it is NOT worth doubling of the price!!! period!

so why do people buy Mac???

1) They are NOT tech savvy enough, so they fall for the heavily invested mac propaganda. I do feel sorry for these kids.

2) or They think laptop is a fashion item, carrying a Mac can help them get laid faster. If it has been helping you on that department, that is great! money well spent. But I really doubt. Any supporting argument from Mac users on that?
