Oh FFS. You want a mac? Cool. You want a PC? Also cool. Look, I'm no fanboy or anything, but this is just stupid.
It's almost entirely false, although it still gets reposted all the time.

Reposted from another forum:

On Foxconn:
Foxconn's suicide rates are significantly below average.
If you but a computer, it was probably built by Foxconn. They are the exclusive manufacturer for:
Acer, ATI, Amazon, Cisco, Dell, HP, Intel, Microsoft (Own an Xbox?), Motorola, Nintendo (own a Wii?), Nokia, Samsung, Sony (own a PS3?), Toshiba, Visio, etc.


On the OS:
Oh the misinformation!
-Criticizing Apple for charging for version upgrades (Who doesn't?)
-MS Office for Mac was not 'recently' released. It's been around since version 4.3, and costs the same amount as the Windows variant.
-MS Office for Mac is released NOT due to some outcry, but rather due to a long standing agreement between MS and Apple.
-Unsuitable for work in offices, programming, or 3D: This is just patently untrue. I've done all of these on both Macs and PCs.
-Mac Defender, which the image lists as a virus, is merely malware. Furthermore, it has since been automatically removed by a free software update.
-DRM: Everything you buy from iTunes is DRM free. Apple's software DRM is fairly unobtrusive.
Quote:
However, to suggest that Unix is not more secure is bogus. Unix is inherently more secure, because there are hundreds of times more contributors to the code than there are for Windows. With a Windows virus, only a few hundred Microsoft devs are able to develop an official patch for it. With Unix, hundreds of thousands of coders are able to all view the code and either patch it themselves, share the patch, or distribute a patch however they feel.

-Lists apple including free software as a negative. What? I think it's really damn cool that I can take any mac on the planet and run it as an apache server or do python dev without installing anything at all.
-The hardware comparisons are BS. /r/buildapc found differences to actually be around 25%, which is pretty normal for prebuilt machines.

Anyways, that's probably enough. This image is bad, and you should feel bad. Apple's machines (particularly their laptops) are pretty damn good. You want more bang for buck? Build a PC. You want even more bang for buck? Buy offcast servers.
You want gaming? Install Windows. You want free software? Instal Gentoooooooooooooo.

There are lots of things that suck about Apple, this contains none of them.

I took the effort of checking the price of the items on newegg, which ended up at $1350 + MS Office Mac 2011.
So atleast that part is pretty true.
But don't hate on me, man, I just saw the image, thought it was interesting and decided to share. Never took the effort to check the validity.
I personally don't really like Apple, but I never said that anywhere.
Let's try to avoid a shitstorm here, shall we?

As far as I'm aware KHTML and Objective-C are really unhelpful languages, and Apple do seem to like promoting them.

I find the macbook pro vs Dell XPS comparison hilarious, especially in combination with the statement that macs aren't made for coding/3d modeling.
The macbook has a 2.3 quad core, which is QUITE fast for such a small laptop, the Dell has a processor that is as fast as the maximum my phone can do.....
That said, I'd love to have a MacBook pro, they are amazingly useful when working: Portable, fast, amazing screen, does everything it needs to do. Or a massive mac pro, that would be nice too, since that was the only way to get two octacores a few months back. YES I NEED THEM.
