What's the point?Apple is going to be out of the computer hardware biz within two years. No one outside of retards with too much disposable income are interested in paying twice as much money for Intel only x86 boxes that they have run 90+ percent of their software in emulation and have to reboot to play any decent games.When IBM dumped Apple last year it signed the death warrent for Apple hardware. An Intel exclusive x86 OEM that is forced to pay for the development of their own niche OS is going nowhere in the computing world.

And so it begins.

You sort of scupper your own argument by claiming the 'disposable income' argument and then bemoaning 'games support'.A bigger waste of money I have yet to find - 70 Euro for a 'game'.

Don't you mean PC World? They're 2 totally separate magazines. PC World isn't even part of Ziff Davis.

I support AMD too, but for the opposite reason than you: competition.

Did anyone go to the charts and noticed that the systems tested are $4000+ with one single CPU?!

Wow starmanjones...you seem to have an awfully poor understanding of OSs and processors. Windows and OSX will run on Apple machines for years and years to come. They will both offer similar performance (There is very little ?performance? issues with any OS) and windows will continue to dominate. End of story. Apple will maintain their small and happy customers, and their small market percentage.To simply give a f**k about any of this is retarded, and I have no idea how many times in the past 20 years I?ve heard people drone on about Apple gaining market share?.Are you all too young to remember OS7?

yea i kind of agreei mean macs are good computers and of course an more expensive computer is going to perform better.........hence the price difference in Macs and PCs
