Uhh just posted a pic of a PC and a Mac calling each other names. Nothing more to it than that.
Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.
The only thing Dell is notable for right now is their displays. Also, the price of that Dell laptop is probably always 2,800 but when the company says there are “added savings” it seems like you’re getting a deal, so it’s not too surprising that the MacBook with better components is almost four hundred bucks more expensive. I can still build you an actual desktop that will outperform any Mac for much less.
Also, I’m well aware that Apple is the parent company and Mac is the product, but I won’t deny my slip-ups there.
And just so I’m on-topic:

Challenge accepted.
This time let’s try to build a PC that costs less than Apple’s top of the line desktop computer, the Mac Pro.
Let’s see what the most expensive Mac Pro costs and contains:
Now, let’s build a comparable PC from scratch (NOTE: All prices from Newegg):
For a grand total of… $6210.59.
We don’t know exactly how much the exact components, cooling systems, or case on the Mac Pro cost, but Apple could be making quite a tidy profit margin on these Mac Pros.
God, all this research is making me tired.
Here’s a picture to stay on topic:
For some context, it was still light out when I started writing that post.

So I probably started around six o’ clock, where you can still see the sun quite brightly, and ended around nine o’ clock, when the Sun is almost fully set.

I think that much is safe to assume, considering their success as a company.
Good post (the fans you chose were redundant with the included case fans, but meh), really nice formatting, btw. Damn.

That’s what you get when you work on something for way too long.
Getting all the links done took longer than you’d expect.
Also the processor won’t fit on that motherboard. <_<
But none of those things affect the cost that much.

I know absolutely nothing about building PCs, so that’s probably why.
Hey no worries, I’m just lettin’ you know. You went to the trouble to do the research. Lot of people would just stand around screaming themselves hoarse without making an effort.
I made the “wrong motherboard/CPU combo” myself starting out.

Sun sets early down south.

I’m not sure if I’d call this “early”.

The word “customization” sounds like “chaos” to Mac users.
Mac users deficiencies aren’t my problem.
A car from 2016 is way more reliable than one from 1976. Less customizable, yes, but more reliable.
This only proves that you aren’t a “car person”. Which is fine, but you should choose a different analogy.

It’s a bit extreme to call that a “deficiency”.

I’m not a car person. Explain why the analogy is invalid.
It’s invalid because it’s wrong.
Also, I was about to edit my post to say that it reads much more serious than I intended. But you’re fast!
Faster than my drunk, tired ass anyway.
I’M OFF WORK TOMORROW!!!
AND THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE LOUDER!

I find the Mac vs PC debate often pretty tedious. They’re for different types of people, looking for different things in their computers.
When people try to tell me why their PC is better than my Mac, it’s pretty pointless. CPU motherboard, none of that shit means anything to me. In my experience, Macs are fast and functional and simple and make sense. That’s all I want.
Same goes for cars. I’m not a car person and have no desire to be. My car was cheap and has good gas mileage. That’s literally all I care about. Don’t know how much horsepower or what kind of engine it has and really don’t care if I never find out.

Some things are just better on the Mac. For example, this:
is better than this.
Why? Because the menu bar on the Mac allows you to be lazy: you can just move your mouse up the top very quickly. Much easier than carefully controlling your mouse to a moving target. (This is a problem with the Dock on OS X)
So, all in all, the Mac just works better. This is why so many Apple fans are so bitter about Microsoft “winning” the Mac—PC war. The better-designed product lost.

Though, I do understand the people who want to go all-in on a topic.
This is a goddamn pic thread. Create a separate useless “Mac vs PC circlejerk” thread or STFU.

I don’t know what this says. . . .
