Calm down bud. For what I need a computer to do yes, the macs are too expensive.

Now that is out of the way if I had the money I would buy a Mac in an instant, I really like them.

Sheesh, you fan-boys get way to hopped up on silly things.

Chis,

Maybe you should even it up. Comparing the Harpertown to the Nehalem isn’t a fair comparison.

Mark, even it up, buddy.

Just because you can construct a ‘comparison’ that looks, at first, to compare apples to apples, and doesn’t doesn’t mean than there aren’t valid comparisons.

I have an 8 core Mac Pro (8/08) sitting next to a four core i7 home built machine (3/09). Both 64 bit. Both multicore. Both multi-graphics card. Both hardcore machines. Both have approximately the same clock speeds, storage, peripherals, memory and CPU stats (ok, the OC has a hair more RAM and the Mac has 8 cores, not four).

The price difference is staggering. The Mac Pro, with AppleCare, cost a fortune. The PC cost me something like $2k, maybe $2200k. AND IT OUTPERFORMS THE MAC on most of what I do. Sure, the AppleCare kicks ass, if I ever need it – but when I compare real world productivity between the machines, and they ARE right next to each other, using identical monitos, so I have no oter reason to use one over the other, the PC wins 90% of the time.

So get off your “Mac’s aren’t expensive in the real world’ comparioson high horse. Of freaking COURSE they are. They’re SUPPOSED to be, Apple knows it, advertisers know it, Marketing knows it, the average non-fanboy knows it, and so should you.

If you think Macs are expensive, you aren’t comparing equivalent products. I’m not talking about fit and finish, polish, UI, image, brand, or any of that crap that ignorant Apple-bashers tend to talk about. I’m talking about hardware and software features, specs, and performance.
