Are Mac's really faster?

No, we haven't established how a hassle free (no such thing exists) computer that costs $1,000 more than the one I built is more financially fruitful.

 

It's been stablished since you didn't bother to make a counter-argument. 

However since you ask, I've already posted why in a previous post of mine in this same thread, a post which you replied to. Which sort of leads to the conclusion that you don't bother reading what you are replying to, but that might as well derail the thread.

Maybe if you weren't busy fixing broken .DLL links you could have read and replied to such post in the past =/

Of course such post used "cost of opportunity" as a strong argument, something you might have learnt in the past weren't you concerned tweaking your antivirus software.

The only post I quoted of yours relating to what you said was some nonsensical ideology that if you're learning about PCs then you are wasting time that could be put forth to learning more in your career field.  As though there is some barrier to doing both?  I can't increase my knoweldge of PC's AND increase my knowledge in career field?  They are somehow mutualy exclusive unless they overlap?  Are you saying I have to choose one or the other and by purchasing a Mac Pro I've reduced the options to simply increasing my career field knowledge and will then after 3.34 years will have eradicated the $1,000 premium?

"Considering an average 3-year lifespan for the computer and assuming a 1.000$ apple overprice, it comes off as 300$ per year. However increasing your knowledge on your actual field of work will yield more than 300$/year."

^That's what you said.   I can't see how you think there is some logic in your non-sequitur.

 

You know, I don't have broken .DLL's or bad drivers because I know what I'm doing.   I also don't need to update my antivirus software (which I don't even have any installed) because I know how to properly set up a good firewall and don't download anything I'm not certain of the content.   It also helps I use both Windows and Linux.  In fact, I dual boot and use virtualization so I'm using several different operating systems and never fear of viruses, worms, trojans or other malware.
