mac vs. pc

[BenKenobi88]

So basically it has come down to Macs being better for

A) the super high end user, who uses it for intense processing, scientific research, etc.

B) laptop users.

Well hell, I would have agreed on that point a long time ago, but that's assuming I wouldn't want to use my laptop for gaming either.

Apparently most Mac users are MacBook users, and so no sh*t they don't want to play games on a laptop; I wouldn't either.

But I love my desktop, and it's awesome for videogames...I'd say a lot of you don't know what you're missing.

And yeah, this:

"How about this for an example. let's say I built the fastest gaming rig in the world, and sold it for $800, and there was a forum where people who just sent emails and browsed the web talked about the best PC for that task. If they bashed my $800 gaming rig as way over priced because they could do everything they needed on a $350 computer, would they be right?

No. It's still an awesome gaming rig for less then any other gaming rig on the market. If Apple released a computer designed for gaming, and it was overpriced, I would understand."

Apple releases computers designed for general computing use.  They typically have ?notsure? dual-cores, a fairly decent graphics card, a generally easy-to-use OS, enough memory, enough hard drive space, etc.  AND YOU CAN GET ALL THAT FOR MUCH CHEAPER by building your own PC; and not just an average PC; you could build an awesome PC gaming rig for much less than the general Mac.

So it's not "oh, I don't need the stuff that your Mac has, so it's overpriced!"  It's "I HAVE MORE THAN YOUR MAC, and  MY PC COST MUCH MUCH LESS!"

You had it backwards, my friend.
