MACS ARE WORTHLESS

Why Macs are worthless
A simple technological explanation as to why Macintosh computers are nothing more than overpriced paperweights.

Let’s first start with the fact that the price of an iMac is 1,500 dollars, base. That’s with no upgrades, installed programs, or extra features or accessories. Let’s take a closer look though, at why they are completely worthless merely for the fact that you can get a better PC for far less.
To do this we are simply going to post a parts list for a different PC build with nearly the same parts such as ram speed and processor type, with the only difference being the amount of ram and speed of the processor, and different parts obviously. The main factor is that it is still an intel core 2 duo LGA 775 socket system. Let’s begin shall we?

ASUS P5E3 WS PRO LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard - $200

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - $270

Kingston HyperX 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory - $210

Thermaltake W0116RU 750W Modular Power Supply Unit - $120

Sony Optiarc DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model LightScribe Support - $34

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - $100

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - $90

XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) Video Card – $175

Hanns·G HG-281DPB Black 28" 3ms Widescreen LCD HDMI Monitor - $310

Logitech 920-000021 Black USB Standard Access Keyboard 600 - $25

Logitech M500 Tilt Wheel USB Corded Laser Mouse - $40

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - $190

Total Cost: $1,764

iMac total cost: $2,249

That does of course reflect the cost of having a lower model graphics card with less ram on it and a 3” smaller screen than the one we have selected for our pc.

That part list is definitive proof that you can build a much better system AND get the input devices to go along with it at a much lower cost than it would be to simply buy an iMac.

Oh, I also forgot to mention one things that’s always bothered me about the iMac. You have to have an external amplifier to use the microphone input port. WTF? I have NEVER seen that in any computer in my entire life. What a worthless machine.

So there you have it folks, ultimate proof that unless you need to use ONE piece of video editing software that is only on Macs, they are completely worthless. They don’t magically perform any better than pcs simply because they’re Macs, they crash and freeze when working with memory and cpu intensive programs such as those in the adobe CS4 suite just as often as pcs do, if not more from what I’ve seen.

Also, if you were planning on spending 2,249 dollars on that iMac, and don’t mind spending the extra 485 dollars you’d save getting the pc part list I put together, you could throw in a pretty sweet sound card and/or a kick ass surround sound system to go along with it all.

Do note that I did leave shipping costs out of both of these equations as well.

So I really do hope I’ve provided more than enough information to prove to you my point.
