Ornlu: Your Mac information is no where near to being accurate. As a PC builder I will agree that a PC is more upgradeable due to the fact that no one company owns the technology, as is the case with a Mac made only by Apple. But it is still very upgradable. My mac has an AGP slot, and several PCI slots, IDE hard Drives, and ATAPI CD drives. I can go buy any hard drive off the shelf and install it in my mac with no problems. Same for CD burners and DVD drives, RAM and just about any USB or FIREWIRE device. I can crack my case open and shuffle around components at will and it will not void my Apple warranty. I can even go buy a dual processor upgrade card any time I want. On the contrary to what you suggest, Apple has been very helpful and in the case of my 17" apple monitor that blew up 3 years out of warranty, Apple fixed it for FREE. They stand behind their products. "the mac is far inferior in anything but editing large data files or rendering." What do you base this on? Are macs inferior at photoshop? No. Are they inferior for Web Development? No. Are they inferior at video editing or DVD creation? Nope, they set the standards for this. You have obviously never used a Mac for any amount of time, and that is a shame as you are missing out... Like I said, I have nothing against PC's, I use them daily, but I think choice is a good thing and the PC is not always the best choice, unless you are a gamer as there is simply more games on the PC.
