The iMac is just stupid. The same priced PC is 2 times the power if you can hand build your boxes. Any PC for the same price has faster and larger drives, faster and more ram, about the same processor, and twice the video acceleration.
Only benefit of the Mac over MC, is out of the box. I will give it up to Mac for that, I have never purchased or built a PC that in 15 minutes after opening the box, I was on the Internet. |
You seem pretty set into the notion that your PCs are better so I won't even get into it.
I have had iMacs, Macbook Pros and currently have about 7 PCs at my house. Each custom built, each cost more or less 2000$ at the time of the build.
My Macbook pro and iMac are my best purchases and least expensive in the long run.
Most people tend to think that PCs are less expensive because of the initial buying price, but people also forget that you often have to Macs come with Pre-bundled software that isn't offered when you buy a PC. Usually you'll have to pay for Windows, anti-virus program, proper html editing progs, photo managers, etc etc etc.
And alot of the times, whenever new generations of technology come around (although I admit its less frequent these days), it usually means you have to somehow upgrade your PC by buying new hardware.
Lets not forget debugging time with Windows. How much time have most people spent looking for drivers to update your stuff or surfing the web for a patch so that your shit is compatible with your build.
Time is also money.
Anyhow, I could go on. Maybe your PCs are more powerful than the Macs, its quite possible. But in the long run, I prefer my Macs and thats just my plain simple opinion.
