So I'm not sure how other than not having a bloated Windows operating system, Apple would get more 'torque' out of their computers than a PC.

People think that PCs == Microsoft, but it's not.

Not having a bloated operating system is more or less exactly how Apple gets more torque out of their hardware IME. Kind of the same way you can take hardware that would be positively anemic with any current version of Windows running on it, but that same hardware usually runs great with Linux. The difference is OSX can run software that those who aren't software engineers and/or super geeks have actually heard of.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Linux box. I just don't do great with memorizing obscure command line strings so I never had the patience to try to run Linux as my main machine.
