[QUOTE="Zero_epyon"] Thanks for adding so much to the conversation. I look forward to your genius response.

Well the fact of the matter is you cant argue with fanboys of anything, they dont care about logic. So i thought...why not tell him what he wants to hear, cuz its not coming from a fanboy.

Irrefutable facts:(when i say pc i mean windows)

1.PC is cheaper, unless its alienware.

2.PC can do anything a mac can

3.PC has the latest and best hardware available

4.PC can do more than the mac os(yes mac can bootcamp, but then its using windows anyway, that in itself is saying macs are obsolete)

This thread isn't about which is better.It's more about how PC's and Macs are similar. I'm not trying to insult people who use PC's only. Right now I'm on a PC writing this response. The question was what makes a Mac worth the money. I listed them. A fanboy response would be to insult the response attempt and not the actual content of the response. Then twist the argument into something else. I'll play the game a little longer though since I'm bored. 1) Find me an all in on PC that has a core i3 processor, a 27 inch IPS panel monitor, a decent discrete graphics card and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Tell me what it costs. 2) PC's can't run iLife, xgrid, bonjour, afp, iChat and others out of the box. Same can be said with Macs, Macs can't run a lot of games that windows can. They also have trouble running AutoCad. 3) Not all of them do now do they? If you want the latest you'll have to build it yourself in most cases. Fine by me but not by the majority of the PC market share. 4) "PC can do more" Seems similar to your second point "PC can do anything a Mac can" Can you give example of what more a PC can do in addition to what macs can?

All in one?

You mean a laptop? (and if you complain about screen size just hook a monitor to it)

All in one are horrible anyway, if something breaks on it like the webcam you need to send the whole thing back to Apple.

PC has software the mac can't run although you can run each OS on their counterpart so I don't see the point in arguing this.

Not sure if "PC can do more" is a valid statement but A windows PC has more support for games and better hardware for a cheaper price.

Not in "out-of-the-box".

Have you tried to install an unmodifed retail MacOS X 10.6 on multiple Dell, ASUS, HP, ACER and Sony laptops?

You're right. It's a toaster.
