An HP desktop PC with an AMD Athlon II X4 quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, a
1TB hard drive preloaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, a 20-inch LCD
and color printer will cost $500, representing $330 in savings.
$500? You can buy 3 of these for the price of the 1tb 21" iMac.
And have three pieces of shit hardware with a shit operating system in
your possession. Fancy that.

Little nowhere people with little non-thinking minds who can't afford the
real big ticket items. So they put what little wealth they have into an
overpriced toy and then have to rationalize how they really didn't get
fucked..
In Baley's case, he's stupid also.
And then you can shit-can Windows 7, install OSX on it and have a halfway
decent computer!

Exactly!
Hell, Apple can't even beat Asus in quality surveys.
LOL
Just essentially equal them.

What do you make of this difference?

Among respondents who bought an Apple Mac over the past 90

I don't know. The OP was a price comparo, and also a quality comparo. I
am not following a customer satisfaction comparo.
Not for equivalent hardware.
Just noting that this difference is a *lot* more than 11%. :)

[INSERT .SIG HERE]
Let's see where to start....
1. According to Tom's hardware and other most other sites (http://
www.tomshardware.com/reviews/e8500-phenom-9350e,2010-6.html). A
3.06Ghz Core 2 Duo is faster than an AMD 2.6GHz Quad Core in most real
world tests.
2. The AMD Quad core has a 2MB L2 cache -- smaller than a Core 2 Duo
3. Is the 20" monitor capable of doing 1920x1200? What are the specs
on the monitor.
4. No dual monitor support
5. No Gig-E
6. No wireless
7. The 21" 1TB model does not use integrated graphics
So Zara now is Muah Muah newsreader also broken?
5. No Gig-E
6. No wireless
Do you suffer from brain damage? Or are you just stupid? Or just
redirecting? The OP only stated; "You can buy 3 of these for the price of
the 1tb 21" iMac". He didn't claim anywhere that they equaled the iMac.

A cover for what kind of glass? Wine glass, champagne flut, etc.?
Whatever it is, it does its job well.

Yeah and you can buy 16 iMacs for the price of a Cray. But how
relevant is the comparison?
Well then, if there's no requirement for any degree of parity, then
Tommy is getting horribly ripped off.
Why? Because skipping Best Buy and going to the 'HP Direct' website,
he could have instead bought an HP "Calcpad 200" for $29.99
Golly:
"...You can buy 16 of these for the price of that HP Desktop..."
-hh
Let's not redirect because you have run out of argument. Lets stick with the
OP, which cannot be disputed.
Golly:
Your only talent - redirection. And a not very good talent.
And GOLLY!!! He could buy 48 for the price of an iMac.
Well I'm not claiming anywhere that the iMac equals a Cray. What's
the difference?

Right; or, to use our restaurant analogy:
you could have 3 Big Macs or a decent Chinese buffet, steak dinner, or
salad and sandwich.
I'm not suggesting the Mac OS is any of those, just that the Mac OS is
significantly better than the other option, even though you have three.
But let's not let him free on the other failures:
he's price-comparing a Black Friday deal; invalid
he's feature-comparing but hasn't matched anything; invalid
he's ignored the processor differences; invalid
he's trying to falsely inflate the Mac price; invalid tactic
he's ignoring many specs that matter, and which Apple has done well.

No such thing. That's the reason Apple prices are higher than your
stupid comparisons.
> for triple the price with a crippled OS
Not just 'not crippled'; the best available. Mybe not what Muah is
comfortable with, but that's no condemnation.
No issue with price; invalid comparison against a Black Friday deal,
and even Muah should know that.
> not used very much anywhere
Doesn't affect anything at all, even if it were true.
Where it is used, it's usually well-used, and where it is used, in this
country, is about one in 10 users. Not even a small amount!

Only this idiot Muah keeps using this word -- which has been proven
wrong in every sense every time he posts it. Slowest learner ever?
> Why are all Maccies retarded?
Why are the trolls in this group the lowest form of stupid humanity?
Why do they never realize they are bested in every article and claim?
Why is Muah so resistant to any kind of reasoning and sense?
You Moron! MacDonald's food is better than what 90% of the world eats. As

You Morons are stuck on the 97 - 3 ratio.

Yes, I know that. How does that change my comparison?
It doesn't. A person on a street near me can choose McDonald's or a
good meal, for only a difference in price.
Yes, it's sad that people in other countries can't get better food.
It's also very sad that they can't get better computers, but that
doesn't mean there is a big positive value in the kind that they can
get. in other words, it still isn't relevant that South America doesn't
buy as many Macs, and it only hurts your quality argument to insist
that the market share indicates anything but really garbage comps
there.
> As

> Roach shit and cat meat..
I'm not sure what this fool is trying to say -- it seems to be that the
guy that can choose McDonalds or a steak dinner can only get really
awful Chinese food.
Even if that is true somewhere, it is just something to avoid -- like
the McDonalds burger. There is probably a better-quality place to eat.
Again, this was about being able to choose better options -- not about
your hatred for Chinese cooks.
> You Morons are stuck on the 97 - 3 ratio.
Nope; 9:1 ratio. I live where that is the only metric that makes any
sense or has any relevance, and I am not a builder or developer that
has to consider any other region.
You lose.
