Are You A MAC or a PC?

Pretty Blunt! What are you a Mac or a PC? And why? I've had PC's but want to get a Mac Book, but I can't afford a Mac right now. Mac's are really nice obviously, but it doesn't seem they have the same processing power available as many PC's which are cheaper.

They do a pretty good job of showing the interface and the differences between OS X and Windows.; ▶ Reply to This

By the way, I was on my Mac when I read your reply, and I actually went to the PC to type this reply just for you dude!; ▶ Reply to This

Secondly PC is compatible with most of the software. Agreed there is Mac software also or a version of the PC software, but still nothing can beat the old PC; ▶ Reply to This

Pc has some awesome apps for this, but mac has it beat hands down. For instance, Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) used to have a slew of effects/production equipment. Now he's replaced most of that with a Macbook Pro, running Logic Pro... and this is when he's playing live. I know the hard core PC people are going to start shouting Pro Tools, which is okay and I have used it before, but my experience with Logic Express has made me a believer.; ▶ Reply to This

Personally I do not know, I'm into Video and Graphics, Sony Vegas along with Adobe Graphics Suite and several others that smaller and faster, some even FREE. I have no complaints. I can even edit protected DVD VOB files to my hearts content.
