True

And even if you could see the difference in a benchmark, could that difference be perceived?

Back in the day, cutting a second off here and there when you are word processing made a difference, now you are talking milliseconds for most things. About the only thing I can think of that seconds a day count would be in 3D render farms and photo manipulation. Here the Mac isn't at a disadvantage.

So, I agree. The PC and the Mac are both fast enough for everything today. The question now comes down to how educated a person is about the decision they are about to make when they purchase the computer.

I make a living because of the shortcomings of Windows and their users. When I go home I don't want to have to deal with those shortcomings, so I use a Mac. While not perfect, it's much closer to perfection. Hence my decision to purchase a Mac. Not because it's faster or slower than the other machines.

I am with others on this announcement. I'm a bit under whelmed. The unfortunate side effect for a company that makes insanely great products, is that they have to live with this expectation every time a product is released. Sometimes the hype kills the announcement.
