First off, matching specs seems foolish being that most people's needs would be met by a $300 Intel-Atom based untra-portable PC, ...

 

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.

 

Yes. Spec-matching is indeed pointless. But it's extremely lol that Apple even thinks they can market along those lines.

And replace "Intel Atom" with "AMD Athlon Neo" or "Via Nano". Both of those alternatives offer matching or better CPU power but much better integrated graphics (780G and 9400M respectively) than Intel's poor GMA-based ones. For the same price and same total system power consumption.
