1984 Mac vs. PC with better “specs.” Parallels iPad 2 vs. Xoom benchmarks.

Video: 1984 Mac vs. 2007 PC with Better Specs

Mac vs. PC: The PC has better specs on paper, therefore it’s better, isn’t it?

2007 PC vs. 1984 Mac
1.73 GHz vs. 8 Mhz
2 GB vs. 128 KB
SATA vs Floppy
32 Bit vs. 16 Bit
OS on HD vs. OS on floppy and in ROM
Still loading vs. Ready

The benchmark showing “what sucks on today’s PCs.” Does it have something to do with bloatware known as Windows?

iPad vs. PC / Android Tablet

In related news, recent tests showed that the new iPad is faster than Xoom, the Android tablet with nominally “better” specs and PC-like performance.

To be fair, I have a feeling that the old Mac, which was also the exact same as my very first Mac, could also probably repeat the above if you also pitted it against a new brand new Mac when it came to boot-up times. Maybe the new SSD MacBook Airs would be it, I don’t know?

The reason, is of course, that the old Mac’s OS only comprised about a whopping 184k of memory!

Boy, oh boy, how times have changed!
