if you spend 2,500 on both and see what you get. It is not comparison
Once again, you act as if every PC does not come with virus protection, good warranty plans etc..
You are comparing one company (Apple) to several that make PCs. Windows PCs is a open platform that many companies can license and use- some offer good products, others do not. Much like android it is up to the user to do his or her research and spend appropriately.
If you spend equal money on both, you can get more out of a PC- better processors, ram, graphics card, software add ons etc.. but of course since you grew up using your moms PC from Sam's Club it cant be true

On pure performance, I 100% agree with you.
But...
What is the value of each one after 5 years? Because the Macbook Pro will still be running and will have a much higher resale value...fact.
And the form factor for Apple and the nearest competitor isn't even close. Apple products are top notch. The macbook pro is thin, not plastic, and very very light for its performance capabilities.

Cool, where are your FACTS?
And Lol at saying PC has better processors, ram, GRAPHICS CARDS (that's like what a Mac was built for), sotftware... You truly couldn't be more wrong.
I still see no facts, just you spewing BS you know absolutely nothing about. Keep it coming.
The frick do you think I do for a living?

The fact that you keep saying "PC" like that's a single thing shows that you don't know what you're talking about.
An introductory $1000 Macbook is going to beat a $400 generic storebrand PC laptop every time. WHen you compare a $1000 Macbook to a $1000 PC laptop, you are getting more bang for your buck in terms of specs and performance with the PC every time.
Do some homework.

The best part about guys like him is that you and probably felt the same before we got a chance to actually use macs on a regular basis.
Bro probably gets sick FPS on counter strike though.

I do web design, IT work and click ads for multiple companies and I get 15 PCs for every 1 Mac.
That registry file that Windows works off of is so easy to manipulate and is pretty much programmed with bugs.. They do this do you have to BUY virus protection.
I could go on and on.. And yes, I was just like this guy and anti Mac until I bought a Mac

No one can build anything close to a Macbook Pro or Ipad. Apple isn't exactly trying to compete in the desktop market, so that is an irrelevant argument from the pc/windows supporters.
Custom PC's will always be better for high-end gaming and graphics, but Apple isn't in that market.

I prefer desktops. I could probably build a laptop for right around the same $$ that would dominate a Mac.
People need to understand... Apple makes a killing by overpricing their products, and people eat it right up.
People also need to understand that buying a PC from a store is going to make you have an average PC that won't last you 5-6 years.

People need to understand that 100% of Mac users in this thread used to build our own PCs. It's not a special talent that you have.
And again, any PC you build runs windows, which is a dumpster fire of an OS. So how exactly would it "dominate" a mac? Run hypothetical benchmarks faster?
