Mac vs PC

[gamerman4]

Sure but when you do that it costs more than a Mac. You buy a stripped down PC and then third party add all the features to equal a Mac you pay way more, I mean sales tax alone on each item would increase the cost a bunch.

That is why you can't build a PC spec for spec comparable to a Mac and make it cheaper. It just doesn't happen. I have tried it, and I didn't believe it myself. I used to think they were a bit over priced as well. Then I tried actually building one with the exact same parts, and they came out the same or more expensive every time.

That's why it is best to research and find the model that has all the features you need already there from Dell or HP rather than getting those extras later, it saves money and time but it adds to the complexity of the buying process.

LOL, yeah I agree, but that still doesn't change the fact that if you cut corners then add in third party, add all the parts in at the factory (ie from HP or Dell), or try to build it from scratch and match part for part spec for spec it comes out to the same price or more expensive.

I am arguing actual cost of parts, you are arguing features vs benefits, which are two separate arguments.

i agree with you, but you aren't grasping quite what I am saying.

Well I wasn't even quoting your argument, I was quoting the other guy, remember we had the same kind of discussion a few weeks ago? I am fully aware of how you stand and I'm pretty much done making my position known to you.
