In reply to Bartłomiej Sajdak.

Somehow though, all the articles missed this point entirely. I can only assume that the writers have never used anything except WIndows, and do not care to. In that case, it becomes a strict spec-to-price comparison.

But oddly, nobody does that with things like, cars. You don't see articles saying "Ditch your BWM 3-series for this Subaru WRX, because it has more horsepower and costs $10k less". Why? Because although they perform the same basic functions, they are absolutely not the same thing, and are not bought for the same reasons.

Not sure why people have trouble with the concept that holds true for electronics, too.
