Most Mac Owners Also Own a Windows PC, But Not Vice Versa
Barence writes "More than eight out of ten Mac owners also own a PC, according to a new piece of research. The NPD survey found that 12% of US computer-owning households have a Mac. However, 85% of those also own a Windows PC, suggesting that the Mac/PC divide is nowhere near as clear cut as both Apple and Microsoft suggest. Mac owners are also far more likely to have multiple computers in the house. Two thirds of Mac owners have three or more computers in the home, while only 29% of PC owners have two or more PCs."
Roger that. What next, is there going to be a captivating article about how most Republicans didn't vote for Obama or how more people will cell phones don't have land-lines than people without cell phones?
I'm pretty sure you're reasonably insane. Hardware prices are nearly double for equivalent macs (at least for laptops) if you know where to shop.
I don't mean to plug xoticpc here, but they deal in custom made laptops and prices are so far below macs it makes your head spin.
Show me a mac for under double this price with the same hardware. I dare you:

I doubt many Ferarri owners go bragging about their car's cost on a page devoted to car tuning. People who have the knowledge to make something that other people pay dearly for rarely look up to those who pay for it.
Degaussing scares the bad magnetism out of the monitor and fills it with good karma.
OK, then you compare the 20" iMac to the Dell Studio 19. Compare the 24" iMac to the Dell XPS One. It's all there. I'm sure you'll decide the iMac is a better deal, but the Dells are certainly cheaper than the iMacs for equivalent hardware, which is what the thread was about.
