All Apples have single cores, even the new ones. Thats why PC's are better.

Apple Macs? New ones? Single cores? Get your facts right mate.

PCs are better in terms of price/hardware. In terms of software it's debatable based on the user's needs.

still got 5 atom based PCs on single cores. (N270, N450, N230, CE4150, Z520). Most of them don't even support 64bit :-)

My friend is using a dual core Macbook right now that he bought 2 years ago.

However, I believe he is referring to the fruit and is thus correct. I have yet to see a mutant apple with more than one core.
