Yeah that's true, but generally there is a distinction to most people between a general PC and a mac computer. I think it's mainly due to Apple software and marketing that this is the case.
The distinction died when Jobs moved OSX to x86_64.
I have OSX running on my Acer laptop, along with Windows and Ubuntu.

might as well ask "Shoes or Nike shoes?"...
It's living off of outdated information from my childhood.
That's pretty fucking stupid.
But, in the end run, it doesn't matter, as the hordes of idiots will undoubtably never change.
With that in mind, Jesus is real because tonnes of humans say so. Up yours Polaris

Wow. That's some attitude. Tell me again how much better than everybody else you are. I love to hear that bit.

Nike shoes are universally more expensive than any subset within the entire set of all shoes?

Bullshit. Personal Computers are no longer just computers that you have at home. It's a different philosophy: pre-packaged assembly line Macs, or self-assembled computers designed with YOUR specs and YOUR interests in mind.
Dollar for dollar, a Mac user is pretty much paying extra for the icon and for the inability to inexpensively modify and guide their own computing experience. Nothing personal about that. The Apple laptops DO look slightly cooler when you whip them out in Starbucks to pretend to write poetry, though. There is that, I guess.

"Mac" has always referred to machines built by Apple that are intended by Apple to run a "Mac OS." "PC" has come to mean a machine intended to be used with a Microsoft Windows OS. These are the assumptions behind the OP's question and these are these have been the traditional meanings behind these words for at least 10 years. So what if you Moros think "PC" means any AMD or Intel desktop? Words change meaning all the time. Whatever terms you want to use, recognizing a distinction between Apple's computers that are designed to run Mac OS and other computers intended to run Windows OS is still useful because (1) Apple computers are the only computers preloaded with Mac OS X, (2) the OS was designed with Apple's specific hardware configurations in mind and not other companies', (3) Apple's mice and keyboard have buttons that correspond to specific functions found only in the Mac OS. "Mac" is the term that has come to represent this specific hardware and software configuration that exists. A "hackintosh" isn't the same as a Mac because it is not the same basic hardware + software experience. It's in another category.
Mac vs. PC is not like Nike Shoes vs other shoes. It's more like sandals versus shoes. Sure, you could take a pair of scissors and turn shoes into sandals but are you really going to then say there is then no useful distinction between them?

As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

PC all the way. Never owned a single apple product. And they pretend they are anti-corporate and yet they are the most cult like corporate pseudo religious company of the modern era.
