This topic has always been interesting to me.
PC or Mac?
PC-Cheap. More games. More chances of getting a virus (Dominates computer sales. More people -> more prominent attack)
Mac-Overpriced. Not as many games. Less chances of getting a virus (Only dominates a small percentage of computer sales.

Mac: Better for video/photo editing. Fewer viruses. Makes you look more professional (lol not really).

None of them, Linux is the best (Ubuntu is free). But the only problem is... that most programs/games/apps are made fir Windows (Vista/7). So the answer is Windows.

I am currently on my Windows 8 CP, because it loads faster and looks nice. But if I want to buy a new pc, I will choose Windows 7.

Correction: Mac is EASIER and SIMPLER for Video/Photo editing, otherwise Sony Vegas is better and gives a more professional result if you know how to use it. Also if you get viruses on a PC, you're generally pretty dumb anyway

Mac doesn't have an advantage in photo or video editing, I do photo editing, they both have the same programs for the most part, well the important ones at least.

The reason for less viruses on Mac is that the userbase is so small that the people making the viruses wouldn't bother making one. However recently the Mac userbase has been growing so Mac users can expect more viruses now. In the end though, getting a virus = noob with computers.

This might attract flame, but in my school of Art, Design, and Media, all the people who know their stuff stick to Windows for everything - photo editing, video editing, modelling, etc, etc. Gaming is simply a huge plus. :D

Macs are good at what they do: simplifying everything, and being 'flashy'.

Well, actually a Mac is also a pc. People just don't see it.

PC easy. Only way you can get a virus/hacked on a PC is if you're dumb. PC is easy to upgrade, cheaper, and when something breaks down, you don't have to buy a new one. PC also has much more game support than a Mac ever will.

Mac is more for the people who have to much money and wanna be cool. I see very little upsides. Everyone says video/photo but really, if that's the reason you're spending 1000+ more dollars on a computer. Video/photos better be your life long passion and job.

Mac isn't for people with too much money, it's for people with too little knowledge (or in some cases people who just want a simplified experience - an example would be musical producers, mac has logic (the program) and is apparently easier to use (really it just looks simpler), there's also some "core audio" BS which I'm not sure is even a real thing...). Back to my original point, I know a few people who could happily buy a Mac and not worry about the cost, but they all own Windows because they would rather not overpay for something. I also know people who, let's put it this way, are your stereotypical chavs (and neds also if you live in Scotland) who save up their money and then spend it on macs which they then use for...well, nothing because they are out drinking, smoking and getting pregnant. <- Probably the reason they are poor in the first place.

  1. You're really dumb.
  2. What's the point installing Win on a Mac, you lose the whole point having a Mac then rite?
  3. You can install Mac OS on PC, it's called an Hackintosh
  4. You are on a gaming community, you can't expect to not get nagged on after stating that.
  5. Build your own PC, and get "good" case parts.
  6. Yes there are plenty of games to Mac. I agree. But it is 10 times more to PC's.
  7. An Mac "Pro" is made of aliminium. If you not buy those pros you get some really shitty plastic. (if not mistaken)

If you look apple web site you cant buy any more that shitty plastic macs because they arent avaliable anymore. Now all Apple computers are aliminium. Also i install windows to my mac just for steam. I play my games in win steam and i use my computer with my mac os x in one computer. Windows is just a game console for me.

Also i using mac since 1999. I use a lot of win computer and macs. Main difference between them is stability. İf you look program side you can find almost all win program equals with mac os x except games.
