Old Apple vs. New PC

I just read an amazing article over at this site. They took an old Mac and pitted it against a new PC in a number of tests. Guess who won? It shouldn’t be a surprise to know that the OLD Mac won. Mac’s have always been more efficient with their power and resource usage. The article speaks for itself so there’s no point in me summarizing it. Just check it out!

Speaking of Macs though, I’ve always wanted one. They make computing look like it should be. Sure PC’s can look really nice too but Macs have always been more stable than any PC I’ve ever used, in my experience. I wouldn’t consider myself to be a Mac fan by any means, but, I definitely do not have anything against them. I do a lot of graphic and media design so Mac’s have always been in the back of my mind. I’m running a nice new Intel Core 2 Duo processor right now (as of last week) so right now I’m a big fan of PC’s. There’s just something about being able to have about 100 different programs open at once that just does it for me. Sure a Mac might be able to do that too, but, a Mac is going to cost roughly 3 times as much for the equivalent setup. In my book PC’s are still more practical. Mac’s might be good for creating a MySpace page but at least my PC can run Battlefield 2142 in full resolution.
