Mac vs. PC costs
June 9th, 2007 by admin
This is an excellent article in ComputerWorld comparing the value of Macintosh hardware to similarly configured PCs from Dell, Sony, etc.
The comparisons show, that for the equipment you’re buying when you buy a Mac, you’re getting a good deal. As I like to say, there are cheaper PCs than the cheapest Mac, but … you’re getting less computer.
The author says that the 15″ macbook pro (which, incidentally, is what I think my next Mac will be… sometime in late 2008 though) and Mac Mini aren’t good values in his mind, but he didn’t quantify this. Another site that compares Macs and PCs of similar price feature by feature is System Shootouts.
