A dead ringer that this article is completely sarcastic. No one could say that about Macs with a straight face.

When they start costing what they're actually worth THEN you can start saying Macs are anywhere close to as good as PCs.
I just built a gaming rig (AMD Phenom II 3.2x4, AMD Radeon HD 5750, 4gb DDR3 1600 ram, 800 watt power supply, expandable case, great new motherboard, and several case fans for just over $500 thanks to Black Friday deals. And I could damn near double the performance for another $200.
You want anywhere near that performance in a Mac and you're looking at over 4 times the price with no opportunities for upgrades down the road.

People don't buy macs for gaming. That would be foolish. I'm a motion graphics designer/illustrator [www.vector33.com, good plug, huh]. I work on a mac pretty much all day, every day, everywhere i go and most of my friends work on macs too. Its much more stable than windows, its has a much faster workflow, it is far better built than any windows laptop i have ever used, its more than powerful enough for my work and it now has the added bonus of being a windows machine when i want to game [although i prefer to play my console these days].
2.8ghz core2duo, 4gb 1067 ddr3, 512mb 9600m gt.. its not insane. but, their aren't too many games that slow it down. Admittedly, my friends windows pc is better for games. But, i wouldn't want to rely on that for working and theres no way its going to fit in my bag.
It's just nice that game developers are thinking of the mac using community and creating some games for people who dont want to duel boot :)
