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

Let's put to rest the myth that an Apple computer will set you back more than a Windows PC. In fact, it'll cost you less.

    Article is stupid

    If you think your Mac or PC will last you all the way through 5 years, and you hope to be able to play the best and latest games - at full resolution, with all graphic details turned to the max - on your 5-year old Mac, you're a liar.

    Don't even try the "I don't play games on my Mac because Macs aren't for games" excuse.

    The hardware is the same, Intel-based stuff. A computer is a computer. Only difference now is the software. The lowest common denominator is the hardware.

    Wait 5 years and try to play a brand new game on your 5-year PC, then try the same game on the 5-year Mac. Not so great is it, for both sides, correct?
