Original article: Once and for all, proof that Macs are cheaper than PCs

Cost of Ownership

Mr Manjoo is absolutely correct about the resale value of Macs compared to PCs.

Let's also note that the total cost of ownership is less for a Mac than a PC.

Consider how much money a PC user pays to buy and upgrade their anti-virus software

every time they turn around. Also, most folks end up having a PC repair house clean out the

viruses and worms that dominate the PC world. If you need to pay a PC rep[air house $100 a year to perform those tasks, the costs to own that PC rise considerably.

Bottom line ...

Macs are easier to use.

Macs are more fun to use.

Macs just work ... period.

Stop the suffering ... buy a Mac now with Leopard.
