iMac vs. VAIO Showdown

Posted by pudge on from the but-i-can-lick-my-imac dept.

paradesign writes "Citing both Apple and Sony's intentions to become the hub of the digital lifestyle, Popular Science has pitted an $1,800 800MHz flat-panel iMac up against a $3,400 1.7GHz Sony Vaio PCV-MXS10 to see which really comes out on top. The bottom line is that the Sony PC -- almost twice as expensive as the iMac -- just narrowly edged out the iMac, with an overall score of 42 to 40."

    When you go to do that, be sure to look for a handle on the toilet.

    Except, many toilets in the world don't have handles. Your attempt at belittlement doesn't hold shit.

    Augmn! Classic!

    If cost was not that important you'd think they'd target a price and beef the competitors to be right in that range and then compare.

    Once the water sound has stopped, you should probably pull up your pants and, if you have a wife or girlfriend, make sure to put the toilet seat down.

    Well, actually you should probably wipe your ass and then pull up your pants.

    (And if you're anything like me, you'll wash your hands with soap and hot water, then use the paper towel you dried your hand with to turn the water off and flush the toilet and open the bathroom door before chucking it into the trash.)
