It's not apples and oranges by any means. The are both personal computers with differrent OSs and different applications to do basically the same functions for most people. Certainly you can bring up applications that cannot be done on but one, but these are 'specialized' functions. The vaste majority of folks are surfing the web, reading e-mail, hitting social networks. You can extend that to doing a paper, a spreadsheet, handling finances, reading e-books, what have you. Both platforms do those mundane routine functions well, if you discount any result compatibility requirements for the documents produced. Even then, both platforms handle MS office well, which seems to be the defacto standard when you have to share something or turn it in.
So it is a legitimate comparison, and there is a value element to the choice. Once my needs are met, I can start looking at wants. I want lightweight, long battery live, bueatiful engineering design, but I have to put a dollar value on that want. Most of us do.
