Though the PC vs Mac debate is about as tired as the ‘Glock vs 1911' one, there are many loyal followers out there. Our staff members and contributors use a whole gamut of electronic products.

BulletSafe, manufacturer of armored vests, has a Youtube channel where they test the, uh… bulletproofness of all sorts of products. The latest is, you guessed it, MacBooks. Four of them.
