The Mac desktops (in the USA) have a high market percentage of 90%. There is a but though... The desktop computers have to cost over 1000$. So I have learned from this that people don't buy expensive Windows desktop computers (in the USA), but they like to buy expensive Mac desktop computers... What do you think? Would you buy an expensive Mac or Windows? I personally would buy a Mac because I'm a total mac fan

Nice stats, Ramses : they are proving that Macs are too expensive. At the same price, I'll enjoy to buy a Mac desktop -- but I'll keep a PC for games ! --. Actually, I can buy two PC desktops for the price of a Mac desktop, so I buy PCs.

At the same price maybe, but not with the same stuff inside the box. Do you want a piece of **** for the half price of a heavenly made computer? The stats showed that the people in the USA don't think that PC desktops are worth 1000$, but that Mac desktop computers are I agree that most games are only for PCs, but Macs can virtualize PC , so now you CAN buy a mac

I've used Macs at work since the good old OS 7. They are replaced like PCs, every three years, so I don't know if a Mac will last as many years as the pyramid of Cheops, Ramses

@Sir_bobby88: I don't agree to you, but everyone has the right for his/her own opinion... @arun175: I agree to you with the pirate thing, and that it's stupid that Microsoft won't do anything about it... Let's all live in peace, but Macs are still better

I believe that almost of the people in the USA buy MAC because of its feature it comes with some incridible Apple applications that many computer users would say blows default PC applications out of the water and another advantage of owning a MAC is that far fewer malicious programs are written to attack the MAC.But if you're going to use your PC on gaming it is better to have a Windows desktop.

Yeah, maybe... But Macs can virtualize Windows, and that's what I'm doing I agree that USA just loves Apple (I don't live in the USA though, but I still love Apple) Happy myLotting

Mac is way too exspensive, build a computer yourself and you can get a computer with Mac's performance for like half the price? :P

Umm.... not exactly... Macs are made to fit with the OS and are that way "better" than what Windows PCs are because they are made by an other company than what the OS is... I personally think that macs are worth every penny that they cost, and they don't cost as much as PC users think...
