| HappySqurriel said: First off, matching specs seems foolish being that most people's needs would be met by a $300 Intel-Atom based untra-portable PC, the build quality of Apple products is not dramatically better than any other major manufacturer (after all, they are using the same hardware and assembling it in the same Chineese factories), and I don't think I have known anyone to have a hardware compatibility problem in at least 5 years (and for the 10 years prior to that it was pretty rare) ... Beyond that, the average user will adapt to Linux, Windows or Mac OS within a couple of hours because their needs are not that complicated and most of the functionality they use is very similar across all operating systems. With that said, an Apple PC is very similar to Sony TVs ... Although they are very expenisve compared to what most people buy this isn't (necessarily) because their prices are outrageous as much as it is because they don't have products at a lower price range because the margins aren't any good. |
Soleron was simply countering apple's "high quality, power world class hardware" argument with proof that at the same quality or maybe slightly better, a windows pc is cheaper than a mac.
