In reply to the Mac feels like a BMW comment.
PC's are like Cheverolet, Dodge and Ford. You can get one that will smoke the BMW for less money.
A $50,000 Corvette Z06, a $63,000 Dodge Viper GTS-R or a $40,000 Mustang SVT Cobra will beat the hell out of any beemer on the track, on the strip or even in a street race. A top of the line beemer costs alot more than a Dodge Viper GTS-R. However, the cheaper Corvette Z06 and Viper GTS-R will beat the hell out of that Cobra which already beats out the ridiculously expensive beemer.
You know that the $70,000 BMW M5(thats right...$70,000 for a fucking family sedan) tops out at like 150mph? What kind of shit is that? I mean come'on....the $50,000 Corvette Z06 tops out at 183mph stock and the $63,000 Viper GTS-R tops out at about 201mph stock.
I guess you are right. Mac's are the BMW of computers. You pay more for less performance and the people who pay for the ridiculously overpriced, underpowered machines are led to believe that thier machine is magically special or something.
