There are enough models of PC that are more expensive than Mac, and why would you purchase an inferior PC to begin with. For quality PC you would have to spend the money. The only difference between the two platforms are is OSes. I could never see myself placing XP on a Mac, but OSX on a PC now there is an option. I guess you have never "thrown your remote at the TV".

The only reason they are going to the Intel chip is because they can't get their current chip makers to spend time working on a system with such a small market. IMHO Steve Jobs is a fool when it comes to marketing, keeping the Apple OS locked into those computers. If he really wanted to get Apple out there he would allow the OS run on any Intel or AMD system. Who knows maybe a few more companys might start making software for the system. “for years Intel chips have been trapped in ‘dull little boxes dutifully performing dull little tasks when it could have been doing so much more’”

They are generally well designed and built. IMHO their popularity these days is based more on hype than substance. If you are on a budget the PC platform smokes Macs for value. Macs are overpriced by comparison, but if money is not an issue the Macs are solid. The difference here is, you can get good wintel machines, you just have to do your homework.

PC's are cheaper and have equivilent hardware, so whats the point in buying a mac? There simply is no advantage. Even OSX is just a clone of XP, or is that the other way around, who knows?. They are both just eye candy. Macs are irrelevant, it’s that simple.
