<p>I find it funny that you expose the virtues of using EVIDENCE to back up your claims yet you don’t do it yourself. So to prove my point:</p>
<p>PROOF that Macs are faster:
</p>
<p>Proof that Macs are not more expensive:
</p>
<p>Let me disclaim that if you’re building your own computer, it’s always going to be cheaper. But almost no one builds custom laptops and desktops aren’t appropriate for college.</p>

Yes Macs crash. Just not as much in my experience, and when they do, it doesn’t affect the whole OS and all the other applications open.</p>
<p>
Linux (not Windows or Mac OS X) is extremely popular for web servers because it’s generally extremely stable. This is nothing against Macs or PCs because Windows sucks for running a web server too.</p>
<p>
First let me point out that Microsoft Office came out for Macs first. Then let me point out that running Microsoft Office could be a deal breaker for getting a Mac. But because Macs run Microsoft Office, it’s not a deal breaker. So while it’s not a selling point per se, the fact that it’s not a deal breaker matters.</p>

<p>Hardly. All of the applications I use for media are professional: Adobe Design Suite, Aperture, Final Cut, etc. I don’t use iLife. But having experienced teaching my parents how to use computers, I know that iLife makes my job a lot easier. It’s fairly powerful for the average user and it’s intuitive. For most users, that’s all they need to know.</p>
