Yes, so she's a really big Apple fan, and thinks they can be used for just about everything. I need some substantial help from you guys to prove that PC's have a wider range of usage. Thanks.

seriously, for stuff like photoshop, mac's are amazing, but for gaming and customizing/building, macs are weak

i know those kind of people. they would buy a flaming pile of (you guessed it) if they likes the looks of it enough
thats not an argument you can use functionality (form/function) to win surprisingly.
those types of people dont care what you tell them about how something will function. the function argument is a waste of breath.

Also, if she's a "typical user", writing some documents, surfing, sending mail etc, then just about anything will do.. No need for an "all singing all dancing" machine then..
