Ha, Mac limitations? That's a joke right? Even I as an almost exclusive Windows use knows that a Mac with similar specs as a PC, the Mac will run better then the PC. Why, because all apple hardware is fully tested with the OS and other hardware.
As far as I'm aware video editing is still mostly done on Mac and is way more of a resource hog then most games. If big title games got both a Mac and a PC release for every game, I might actually consider getting a Mac. I'm not even very fond of the Mac OS, but the reliability of a Mac is way better the PC

Yeah, okay. Macs are indeed powerful when they are released, but the hardware quickly becomes obsolete with the breakneck pace that new hardware is released for PCs. So while James thinks that spending $2000 on a mac is a worthy investment because they have top of the line hardware, Jimmy can spend $800 and get something equally as powerful. The difference being that he can choose to spend an extra $500 in a few years to make it even more powerful while James has to spend another $2000+ for an entirely new machine.

Uh... Even if this is comparing 'standard mac' to 'super high grade gaming pc', the limitations of that mac aren't going to be below PS3.... Be realistic here.
