You're going to be hard pressed to beat a built PC for most personal desktop applications. Macbooks are tough to beat if you compare laptops though.Now, for a top of the line PC, how much would it cost for a Mac to have equal performance and similar "mods" if you will.
I've seen Macbooks with less RAM/Memory than my "built" PC for the amount I have in my PC in total, including Mouse, 27" Monitor, Keyboard, etc. and I am confident my computer will outperform that specific Mac.
Just curious as there may be a day we save up to buy a Mac Laptop or something like that.
