Hahaha, way past it. Computers are complex products, and optimizing your purchase when there is variation among 30 different features (ram, CPU, screen size, screen resolution, OS, price, etc etc) is daunting. Shortcuts are taken, one of the most common no doubt being approval from peers.

I recently replaced one of each, and the difference in the quantity of decisions and amount of technical knowledge required to make them intelligently was staggering. Once I decided to buy the Mac, the whole purchase took about 5 minutes. The PC took hours. Once again, choice was a nifty double-edged sword.
