I use both Macs and PCs. Macs are better for everything except gaming. There are a lot of reasons that go into that, too.

Anyway, that picture is just meant to strike argument. They clearly exaggerated the price of the Mac, and they exaggerated what the PC pictured (with price) can do. ;)

Not to mention all the cables on the PC. Im going to assume thats an iMac, At the very least they could have used an all in one PC as well..

Also, I do believe that the first variation of this picture was of just the top half, showing the "clean" mac and the "dirty" pc to show how terrible PC's are as compared to Macs.

I'm almost positive that the pricing and "gaming" comparison was an appendage by a PC user at a later date.

Hilarious pic. :D

I'm a PC user/fan, but I have had a lot of Mac experience. The argument of "which is better" is largely moot, since neither can claim significant "exclusive functionality" like they could 10-15 years ago. PCs can do graphics work; Macs can play games. The differences are mostly in style, business model, a few exclusive apps, price (sometimes), and control over hardware. For Joe (The Plumber) User, either would work fine. For hardcore users of some sort, one platform might have an advantage, but these users generally know exactly what they want and are never in a "buying quandary".

Having said all that, I'll give my final opinion:
PCs rule, Macs suck. Just because. :lol:

Aw. You were doing so good until that last statement. ;)

Bastard, as soon as you said Joe the Plumber all of my internal thoughts and reading became narrated by the voice of Sarah Palin. Do you know how horrible that is?

Yepp. If i didn't game, I'd have a Mac, no doubt about it.

But, I DO game, so PC it is. And Windows... ugh.

Too lazy to learn Linux, ATM.

If it wasn't illegal to build your own mac from your own parts, then there really would be no PC vs. Mac argument. Everything would blur into the same. It's just the "you have to buy it as it + some check these boxes if you want an extra gig of ram or a better video card". Which is basically what happens with Dell etc. PCs. But the 1 difference is PCs can also be custom built, and user built.

With Boot Camp, and the fact that Macs are now x86 you can basically just install windows and game that way now. So it's just the above point that's the difference.

Mac for the win. I'm never going back to a pc. Gaming I do on my 360.

I think it's rather funny btw that the pictured mac on that site can be bought for 999 dollar. So that makes the pc more expensive. :P
