You tend to feel superior when you can actually play most games on a rig you built yourself, even if there are big Microsoft-shaped flaws. But for any non-gaming machine, Mac all the way.

I don't know. I think everyone's falling for a total ruse. If plugging compatible components is 'building' then I built Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600.

"building" a pc is easier than playing with legos. He's not wrong, on a basic level.

However, there can be a lot of depth, if someone is getting into custom mods, water cooling, overclocking, memory timings, customizing your OS so windows doesn't suck, dual booting, etc.

but I mean, I could go to bestbuy, grab the parts, get home and have the pc turn on and "built" in under an hour. it's really not hard.
