News Analysis. If you're one of those people who insist Macs are comparably priced to Windows PCs, read no further. This post will make you really angry.
Last week, Microsoft started airing the newest "I'm a PC" ad, featuring Lauren

I think I'll just leave this here.
This just in: Lexus more expensive than Kia.
>> This just in: Lexus more expensive than Kia.
Well, yeah, but a lexus is BETTER than a kia. ;-)
"Why would you buy a machine that immeditely works right when you plug in something new? Where's the fun in that?"
Mac is a closed system; Wintel (Windows/PC) is open. The average home-based computer geek cannot write software or create hardware for Mac, but he can for the PC. This has advantages and disadvantages.
this isn’t exaclty new news..did ppl out there actually think mac were cheaper? Macs are generally more expensive because they sell a better packaged product and ppl are willing to pay it
About the only advantage I can see to a Mac is that they are less likely to have virus problems???
>> they sell a better packaged product
Apple is really, really good at packaging and “style”. No doubt about that.
I think the point of the article is that the Kia goes 0 to 60 three seconds faster than the Lexus, breaks from 60 to 0 in 100 fewer meet, has 110 more horses at a higher torq, gets 15 MPG better fuel efficiency and has 10 m^3 more cargo space.
But to be fair, the Lexus’ doors lock.
... and it looks like a Lexus...
And that will remain true long as they don’t start outselling PCs. Why write a virus for a few Mac users?
And I have nothing against Macs. They are great. Just making that observation.
A Kia is more expensive than a Mac.
>> A Kia is more expensive than a Mac.
That does not compute!
I’ve always been perplexed by windows people who seem to always want to write articles about Macs? Why bother when it is obivous that you went in looking for any bad you could find.
Who cares? People use computers to write emails, edit spreadsheets, and watch cats do stupid things on YouTube.
Pinging the mega-mac guy
What's a "ppl" and why are they so gullible?
Athough, I must admit that it's nice watching a dippy lib chick (hate those stupid glasses!) trash on Apple.
I wish that someone would tell women that wearing those oh-so-trendy glasses doesn't make them smart. Being Smart, makes them smart.
