Macs tend to be much slower for the price. The Macbook Air, for example is incredibly slow for the price.

your pointing out an incredibly specialized computer that puts portability, style, battery ahead of  speed. why not compare an 8 core mac pro to a similar computer. 

Okay then, how much does this 8 core Mac cost?

i believe the base is 3,300. for 2 quadcore xenon 2.26   6 gb ddr3 1066mhz.
