Macs are better than PCs for quite a few reasons.

I love linux, but choose to use a Mac for my day job, because when work is involved I just want to get stuff done.

The rubbish about Macs and PCs being the same because they both use X86 cpus is complete rubbish, thats like saying Palm Pilots and Windows mobile devices are the same because they both us an ARM processor, or that a Ferrari and a Honda are the same because they both use an internal combustion engine.

I'm not aware of any PCs that use EFI, I think they still use a BIOS which are over 20 years old now.

The difference is in the OS, although the hardware is better too with Macs. By better I mean of better quality not necessarily in terms of raw power but in terms of reliability and sustained throughput.

It's easy to build a similar specced machine as a Mac for less money, but when you get down to looking at the quality of the capacitors used, uni-body enclosures and the zero dead pixels on the screens the difference is immediately obvious.

Ta,

Chris.
