[QUOTE="Techpriest, post: 411653, member: 26154"] If you actually read the whole article it says... "There are fewer Mac models, so if your needs vary from what Apple has decided on, you may find a Windows model that costs less for you." "On the other hand, if you search the Windows side first, you'll quickly discover machines that -- in features and price -- fit in between the Mac SKUs. And in those niches, they represent very good values. So there's one answer to the question of whether Macs or Windows represent a better value: If one of those "in between" PCs suits your needs best, you'd be paying an unnecessary premium to get a Mac instead." "Nor did I cover the Mac Mini, a computer that I don't think is much of a bargain from a price/performance standpoint." "I also didn't address the 15-in. MacBook Pro, and -- full disclosure -- I feel it's of dubious value." The point of the article is not that Mac's are cheaper, but simply that a few Macs do well when compared to similarly equipped PCs. I will agree with that statement. That is a far cry from "Macs are NOT more expensive!" [/QUOTE]
