I'd take any PowerPC Mac of the era over any contemporaneous PC

Then there was that dark time when Macs became PCs for a while

And I don't know enough about the ARM Macs to have an opinion other than they seem neat and good cuz they aren't PCs (can't afford lmao)

Edit: I saw your other post, just to be clear I also don't care for Apple I just respect them for doing something other than using the demonic technology that has frustrated the research into and deployment of better computer systems for decades
