Neither can upgrade past Lion. And if we upgrade those machines past Snow Leopard, all the Adobe software needs to be repurchased - architechture change - will not run on Lion or beyond.
Now compare that to my PC-Desktop/Workstation, since 2005 (it's original build) I've changed the CPU and Motherboard once (plus replacements of the mobo upgrade due to failures), added Ram twice: switched to 8GB (2x4GB) for ~$80, then added 16GB on a crazy tiger-direct sale last year ~$90 (delivery took 4 weeks).
Original cost of the first 2005 build, including monitor, ~$800. Plus upgrades (including newer HD's) $500.
My PC started with Win2K in 2005, Win7 in 2011-2012, and Win8 for $30 last year.
Year-in-year-out the non-Mac PC can be kept up to date for linux or Windows with minimal upgrades that really don't cost that much. Whereas Mac propositions are almost always replacing the machine completely at a nearly unreasonable cost.
