Just an interesting tidbit on this discussion. Marco Arment, original developer of Tumblr, InstaaPaper, and the Magazine, has been doing some research today regarding the release of the Mac Pros and how they compare to PC’s of similar spec.
His comparisons are with the $3999 Mac Pro. For a similar Dell with slower SSD drives and no Thunderbolt ports, the price was $4034. The Dell did come bundled with a keyboard and mouse, but of course the real hit will be with the SSD’s. For an HP that was even closer in spec, the price was $5699. He usually writes blog posts when he does this kind of research, so I’ll share that link if he does. Macs are not more expensive. Apple just doesn’t care to compete for the low-end of the market. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
