there are hundreds more....

LOL... those articles are a fucking stretch... All those little upgrades and a whole bunch of shit 99% of users would never give a fuck about... adds up to almost as much as a Mac. I mean, giving an edge to the Mac for boasting a 1900 vs 1440 pixel advantage? Who the fuck runs their 17" screen at 1900 anyway?

Anti-virus and bundled software? I use free antivirus software and have NEVER had a virus issue... and I download copious amounts of bullshit. Bundles software? Who the fuck uses that shit anyway? I'd be willing to bet that 99% of people use less than 10% of their bundled software, no matter what they get.

Mac's certainly have their place in the market, but acting like they are really needed for anything is a huge stretch.
