MacBook Pro vs. the PC competition

Mac or PC? The war rages on. We've thrown the most recent 13-inch MacBook Pro and the closest PC to a Mac we've seen, the Asus U80V, into the ring for an all out brawl.

Apple iMac Core Duo (20-inch, 2.0GHz)

Apple's Intel-based iMac Core Duo boasts an enviable combination of a first-rate design, an impeccable software bundle, and the newfound ability to run Windows in addition to Mac OS X. You simply won't find a more feature-packed, versatile mainstream computer.

Reviews

  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-60

    It's as fast as we imagined, but we wish AMD's new dual-core chip played better with other computer parts out of the gate.

  • Dell OptiPlex GX620

    The Dell OptiPlex GX620's multiple chassis choices offset middling performance for business users.

  • Apple iMac G5 (2.0GHz, 20-inch)

    Along with the new Tiger OS, the iMac G5 gets more muscle beneath its sleek exterior, making the all-in-one desktop a stronger performer and a better deal.

  • Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    Media Center Edition 2005 is the best desktop DVR app out there, but it's not yet ready to play hub for your digital home.
