Complete and utter bunk.Are you saying parts that Apple use, or are you saying, one hard drive is the same as another?
I do not dismiss the parts are the same, what I dismiss is that performance from a person "thinking" they know what they're doing in putting specific parts together versus an engineered system that uses specific parts that have been test benched together to provide a near unrestricted performance level, are vastly different. Anyone with electrical qualifications will know, which I have and also accept, EVERY computer will have some I/O points to some degree... there is nothing you can do about that. You can however significantly increase or decrease these points through an engineered system.
Whilst some say that Apple and PC's are similar, you actually can't be further from the truth. One engineering point that Apple and others discovered long ago, is to remove cabling as much as possible, hence why we now have slim, ultra thin systems because they have designed parts and boards specifically to build an entire system with little to no cabling.
Add a cable, you add a serious I/O point immediately to that parts performance, as cables have vastly different and unique properties for use compared to direct integration into a PC board itself.
Is Mac Pro expensive? Yes. Those systems I think you are paying a premium upon not because they're Mac, but because they aren't huge sellers compared to iMac's, which are Apples premium sale computer line, which I what I am talking about.
I don't experience that on the iMac. That may be a Mac Pro thing, which I agree are over the top... iMac however, being Apples primary computer line, I have 6 x USB ports, plus other ports for different data / connection types.
We've gone through this before, and every time you have brought up the same argument, and I've given points and facts to backup my stance on it.
You do realize everything you say is done with Macs to make them better can be done exactly with a PC? Yeah, if you buy from Dell, HP, or any other shop like that you're going to have issues, but thats because you're buying sub-standard. If you build your own, or go to a premium shop (iBuyPower, CyberPC or other shops) you're going to have a much more efficient system. If you also put the time into researching the parts, and what you'll need for best performance you're going to completely outdo Mac in power. For a cheaper price.
Don't fool yourself in thinking the hardware or anything is better, it is exactly the same as if you bought the part standalone. Difference between Mac and PC is only the OS, and that is all preference and what you need it for.
