For their test, the magazine matched a Gateway One PC against an iMac.
They logged boot-up and shutdown times; the time it took for each computer to rip a CD; made each computer play Saving Private Ryan; and in a grueling test made each computer play three video sources, DivX encoding, instant messaging, Word, Adobe Acrobat and a spyware scan simultaneously.
