The comparison is nonsense, really. It's like the commercial that compared the 3.5L Ford Edge to the 3.0i BMW X5 (nothing to brag about with 1/2 a liter advantage that only get to 60mph 200ms quicker). Same holds true for the mac comparison. It's apples and oranges (pun intended). Tell me about it when both (mac and pc) laptops are set up similarly.
