The thing about direct comparisons with Mac and PC is that they still ignore much of what people actually buy Macs and focus entirely on specs and price.

They're definitely not for everyone but that doesn't automatically make them "elitist" either; some just want a computer that's easy to use that works, regardless of price to spec ratio.

If some want to think they're being exclusive by buying a Mac, well, whatever. Some think they're being elite by building their own computer for less.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with either.

And it's not $500 more for half the computing power as someone mentioned. They don't make computers that fast at any price.
