For the price of a low end mac with intended use being farmville you can get a pretty damn powerful non mac.

To get an accurate comparison between PC and Mac you have to compare the cheapest Mac (lets say the cheapest macbook for about $1000) to a comparably priced PC (It will be a mid/top of the line PC).


The PC will be the better computer EVERY TIME

You pay for the quality, apple components are some of the best, undeniably powerful and fast, they aren't for normal day use like a windows pc, they are for video editing, and movie making, they are also very easy to use, less likely to get viruses, and last longer than most pc's.

But what you all forget is the software is engineered around the components and runs faster, on paper it may be slower, in reality having that much power put into a mac compered to equal power in a pc the mac will be more powerful, and efficient, as well as being cleaner

If mac is so awesome and powerful why do dream works use linux clusters for their editing?

My laptop that I have temporarily was £400, it's almost broke now, as the webcam has fallen in and buttons have started to break, I'm going to have to buy another one.

2x£400=£800, that is only £200 more than a apple laptop with better spec.

Why do pixar use macs, along with most illustrators

sounds like a steaming pile of Apple BS if you ask me. they use other brands chips and graphics cards.

or you could have bought an $800 laptop in the first place and had a laptop that's better than a Mac and will last just as long... Rolleyes
