I can have a computer 10X better than a Mac for $300. The same Mac would cost me $3,000 and I'd be stuck with crap-Mac products "cloud" nonsense.
"cloud" you mean networking? But wait, you get to keep all my data in your freaking "cloud".... why dont I just use and f*ing homenetork with free permissions?
"cloud" and Mac in general are for dolts and their money quickly departed.
“..and I’d be stuck with crap-Mac products “cloud” nonsense.” You are correct but be warned MS wants the PC to go “cloud” too.
People have their priorities. Those "few hours" every few months are valuable to me.

The $280 Dell does not include a $220 monitor.

The basic iMac -- which includes a monitor -- is $1,200 and has far more features than the basic Dell including a much better processor.
The only Macs costing $3,000 are specialty products.

You don't need to use "the cloud" with a Mac any more than you need to use "the cloud" with a PC.
But wait, you get to keep all my data in your freaking "cloud"
If you want, although I leave my stuff on my hard drive & use "the cloud" for a backup for some things.
The Mac will do that, plus have all of your applications, data, accounts and settings back in place if you'd like - one click, walk away until it's done.

That's funny. A $3,000 Mac is going to have at least a 2.8 GHz Xeon processor, which retails for $1,200. The highest-end iMac for $2,200 has a 3.4 GHz Core i7, which retails for $300. For $300 you are just going to have a CPU sitting on your desk, nothing else.
