A hi point will handle your self defense needs too. But for a few bucks more, you can get something that isn't hideously ugly, works better, and is easier to use. Same concept.
How is hardware the same?I've done side by sides for fanboys on here. PC vs. Mac is coming down to hardware being almost exactly the same with Macs coming with a better display by default. For the cost difference, you can easily overcome that whether it is a laptop or desktop. I've done side by sides with Android based phones and iPhones as well...Apple doesn't always release full specs on certain products. They use phrases like "almost twice as fast".
As far as paying big bucks for anti-virus/malware/whatever, I have NEVER spent a cent on them for any of the PCs I've had. Plenty of the free programs work perfectly fine (and also put out OSX software).
These threads always come down to the WoooHoooo!!! I spent a bunch of money for a product from a trendy brand that I really didn't need and the people that bought a product that fit their needs without overspending. Group 1 tries to convince group 2 that they wasted their money and they should spend more to make up for it.
Yes you can save money with a hi-point, but what I really want is a kimber...why waste money on something I don't want when I can wait a little long and save up for what I really do want.
Kimber? Why skimp when you can get a Nighthawk?
I like your way of thinking. So you are saying I really do need the 12 Core Mac Pro for my desktop. I knew it in my heart but couldn't bring myself to tell my wife that was what I really needed.

How is hardware the same?
The hardware is never the same when comparing the same "class" of computer because the mac runs on way less hardware to do the same or more in the performance area.
I'm going to go against the grain here and say PC. Have been using windows machines since high school and have never had any virus, malware, or operating system issues. Though my opinion is likely biased never having owned a Mac, my experience started with my roommate touting how great his Mac was only to turn around and ask if he could use my Dell because the software he needed wasn't available for his Mac. I think either one would fit the bill but refuse to jump on the "Mac is better than PC" bandwagon.
Think its McAfee right now.
I guess haters got to hate.
Not all Mac users are morons that want to click on ED ads. I dislike Windows. I dislike it for its long history of using anti-competitive practices to keep hardware manufacturers from installing other OSes or even leaving it blank. I think it is the OS for people who want to be like everyone else. Just look at the number of Windows users that still run IE with all the security problems it has (I know it has gotten better but it has a long history). Apparently they can't figure out how change to another browser. So I will not use it except as required by my employer. I run Slackware on my laptop. If Apple died tomorrow, I would only run *nix of some flavor or other.
