Mac vs PC, which is better? - Quite frequently we get letters and calls from computer users all over the world asking "which computer should I buy" or "which is best, Mac or PC."

REVIEW: Fastest G5 Power Macs versus Fast Windows PCs - Though the goal is to shed light on how high end G5 Power Macs compare to high end Windows PCs, this article tends to generate some heat as well. Though the comparision never pleases everyone and though it continues to be a slippery slope, we keep trying anyway.

Mac vs. PC, a small cost comparison experiment - Some of you may recall my last blog, about the new "cost efficient" computers... I received many mails about it and thank you for your feedback. Within these mails was one of my PC friends who, somewhat jokingly, asked me to show him how I got to such a conclusion.

Mac vs. PC: What War? - A female friend of mine called me the other day. If you think about it for a second, this is normally not a big event.

Except when such a call makes you realize how wrong people can be at times.

Mac Vs PC for Video Editing - Mac Vs PC is one of those arguments that gets religious: the proponents of either side argue their corner with the fervor of the converted; facts tend to get lost in the melee. Into this religious turf war steps Digital Producer, with a series of tests pitting a dual G5 Mac against a dual Opteron PC in a number of common video editing applications. I won't spoil the outcome for you (although Mac devotees may want to look elsewhere), but it’s certainly food for thought.

She couldn't explain any further than that, and no one else has been able to tell me anything either. Before i take the dive and actually buy one of these things, i'd like to know why.
