This is outside of your price requirements, but I picked up a little iBook G4 over the weekend for about $1000. Not top of the line, but not too shabby either. Runs like a dream, is small and light, and lets me get my BlitzMax on...
I really have to say that I'm impressed with this Mac. The UI is fabulous, the machine seems rock solid stable, and it's plenty fast enough even though it's last years processor.
Same net effect though - a similiary spec'd Mac will run faster than it's PC counterpart. So what they're saying is essentially true.

They aren't actually lying, it's not so much that Mac's are brilliantly efficient, but that PC's are not efficient - compared to other systems that have come and gone over the years.
