Has any studies been done regarding the quality of Macs vs PCs? I have heard that Mac hardware is much better? Just curious. Thanks!

PC parts are made by thousands of companies, so it's impossible to say whether a single PC is of better quality than any other machine.
I've seen Macs last with no problems for years and years, yet others go kaput or suffer from niggles like keyboard problems.

To say that "Mac" hardware is better than "Windows PC" hardware is simply not fact, but rather opinion.PapaNoHair said:Has any studies been done regarding the quality of Macs vs PCs? I have heard that Mac hardware is much better? Just curious. Thanks!
Cujo said:I think the quality difference is in how they are made. Macs are generally all one vendor, buy something and it works with your system. PCs on the other hand you can buy different parts and piece a Frankenmachine together - sometimes this works, sometimes there are compatibility issues.

Ever since the switch from a primarily SCSI interface to an IDE one back in 1997, Macs and Windows PC's have used pretty much the same internal hardware types. Since they are the same, how can one be "better" than the other?
The only real difference between a Mac and a Windows machine is the OS. Even then, it is a subjective matter of personal opinion as to which is "better" than the other.
