[QUOTE="AC016, post: 76946, member: 9619"] here is my 0.0204940 cents worth (0.02 cents Canadian). Macs are great, i have used them since the Apple II. I have also used PCs for quite a few decades. There was a point in time where you could have said that Macs were quite different from PC, since Macs possessed Motorola processor chips. But, now that they use Intel chips just as PCs do, the guts of either machine a pretty much the same. They are both made up of commodities that are all made in Asia somewhere, in the same factories. All macs are made in Guangzhou china. PCs are made in various countries. It is very likely that Macs use higher-grade components in their laptops compared to a $400 Dell or HP. But when you start getting into the same price bracket, they are pretty much on par with each other. What seperates them? The OS and the engineering that goes into them. A mac is very pleasing to the eye on the outside and the inside. A pc, not so much. Further, perhaps the Mac OS delegates resources alot better; therefore, giving it a bit of better performance, but i have no evidence of that. In the end, a PC and a Mac with the same intel processor, same memory, same hard drive, same video card, same etc. etc., will perform the same and maybe, jsut maybe, there will be a very very slight difference not all that noticeable to the human eye. PCs will always be around just because not everyone can afford a Mac. [/QUOTE]
