Even pc's can do media and graphics the same it all has to do with the vram and amounts of cache. Its all about the hardware and transfer rate. if you have a pci-e graphics card and its 2 slots away from the chipset it will be slower than if it was right next to the chipset so all this really matters when it comes down to graphics, speed, and performance. Theres also many types of of pci-e slots. Im a certified pc and networks administer and went to the state championship 2 consecutive years 2013 and 2014 for computer systems

I disagree with the ease of use part... My grandparents got an IMac desktop and almost returned it. Couldn't figure anything out. And my grandma has had an iPad for 3 years or so.

Not to be a "D!ck" but congrats? Certifications dont REALLY mean much in the real world. ( A+ nobody cares, network+ nobody cares, CCNA, MCSE those are the ones that matter ) The OS and architecture have just as much to do with the performance as the quality of parts. ( Consumer grade ( walmart ) vs Industrial/enterprise )

So "state champs" your what like 19 or 20? ( not that it matters, but experience wins here )

Speaking from almost 15 years of experience, 5 in an enterprise environment, and the last year as a Network Admin for a Bank. Good show though.

That is a good start but you can only learn so much in a book. Get 10 years under your belt and your views on things will completely change. I have a single old certification that isnt even relevant anymore. My co-worker did go to college but he also has almost no certs. Experience will help you alot, having the cert will make things alot easier to understand in the future.
