Everybody knows that Macs are more expensive than PCs. Except Paul Murphy, who begs to differ. He says:
At the low end, therefore, the PC desktops are marginally less expensive than the Macs—if you can do without their connectivity and multimedia capabilities—and considerably more expensive if you can’t. At the very high end, however, all of the design focus is on multimedia processing and the PCs simply aren’t competitive from either hardware or cost perspectives.
But, as he says, the mitigating factor that comes up in most people’s minds is:
The PC community response is, first, that the multimedia features distinguishing the Mac aren’t necessary and, secondly, that the PC is so far ahead of the Mac on speed that the comparisons are pointless anyway.
Paul Murphy discusses this thing as well. (Hint: Macs Kick PC Ass)
