Funny. What are they comparing? The iMac costs a lot due to the 27" screen with 5120x2880 resolution (and good build quality). What do they compare it with? A crappy put together PC thing they put together themselves, with.... a 2560x1440 screen. That is half the resolution. And then they add things one does not need for Lightroom and such, just to jack the price of the iMac up. And have some inhouse geek put together the silly PC from ordered parts and charge no labour.
And then the real drive behind this "comparison":
"To those arguing efficiency and reliability in having to maintain the PCs, I would say that if users were to do the following, they wouldn’t have said issues.
1. If you are building a custom PC do your research and use only the best components
2. Stop downloading freeware, crap files, torrents, movies, software, porn and any other illegal content and much of your problems will disappear.
The honest truth is, I have spent just as much time in a Apple store at the Genius Counter getting my Apple machines repaired as I have maintaining my well built PCs."
So basically, "I am a PC guy and feel the need to defend my Windows choice with a crooked comparison because I have something to compensate".
Whoever believes the part where he has spent time an Apple stores to get his Apple machines repaired is silly. The guy doesn't have said Apple machines.
At home, I have been using Macs since the late 90's. Have a spent any time at any store to get a Mac repaired? No. Never. I have had one Mac Mini harddrive fail after 6 years of constant usage, I put a new one in and could copy the data from the failing HD even. That is it.
How many times did I have to reinstall a computer because it just got to be too slow and busy with nothing all the time? Every year or so. Oh wait, I don't use Windows. So, never.
Do I download freeware? Often. Crap files? No idea what he means with that. Torrents? Yes. Movies? Was that covered by torrents? Software? Yes (but is freeware not software also?). "Other" illegal content? I love the framing.
No, I don't have the standard Windows slow down with my Macs, even after a number of years. And never even one virus, no malware.
Yeah, I see why they were able to spend so much money on more expensive processors. Lame article, thanks for posting.
