of course it is. they have a hard drive and it can get defragmented. Not sure if the tool is included with Mac OS.

And as a side note, it hasn't always been included with windows Either. Windows 3.1, 3.11 and all the NT's up to 2000 didn't have a built in defrag. (although I suppose a case could be made for windows 3.1 and 3.11 since they ran over DOS which (usually) had it's own defragmenter.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

I wondered why they said Linux was not needing defragmentation?

I was told Linux always autosorted files naturally so you'd always be having a defragmented drive without needing defragmenter. But windows doesn't autosort,,,, hmmm
