One of the things I hear Windows users say is that Macs are expensive. Many people settle for a PC because they can buy one at $600. Scot Finnie published an article for Computerworld.com examining the cost differences between Macs and PCs. He has some good comparisons. I like the article, because I think Scot has done a good work on the comparisons and it supports my opinion that Macs are competitively priced in relation to PCs. If you do your own comparison, just remember to compare similarly configured models.
