Some people say Macs are too expensive. Some say they aren't. I say they've got it all wrong. Read on to understand how I came to this conclusion.

The point he missed is that when you add all the top of the line components that come standard in a Mac to that "cheap PC", the PC always ends up costing the same. It's just up to whether the buyer wants a bare bones PC that can't do more than the basic functions, or whether they want a good video card, a great sound card, excelent software, and a processor that doesn't take till hell freezes over to open photo editing software. Buy a really cheap PC and what do you get? No software. Not even Windows. Ok sure, if your a bit adventurous, you can get Linux for cheap or free, but Apples come as a very useable machine that can do way more than just the basics. I also agree, being virus/adware/malware free is a very valuable commodity. I wouldn't buy a Windows machine at ANY price. They are all way too expensive in terms of my frustration and stress.
