A friend's PC broke so we shopped for a new one. Best Buy has a wide
selection with the same processors and often more memory and disk space
than comparable Macs, for about half the price. USB-3 (and a shelf full
of cheap external drives most of which are now USB-3). HDMI port. Built
in WiMax for Clearnet ($45 per month). Built in S/W for TV and making
DVDs. hp are sending a set of system restore disks for $16.
When we got it home I spent time setting it up for her which was slow
because I've mostly done Apple for 20 years and DOS and Unix before
that. I quickly learned again how much and why I hate Windows. Windows-7
is better, but...
And Linux and BSD aren't quite housebroken for non-geek civilians.
