So, if you have specific software needs(like running CUDA only renderer or running 3DSMax for example) then buy a PC(you can do that on Mac too but is not the best solution), if you enjoy MacOS then buy a Mac regardless what PC folks says. I own both MacOS and Windows system(more PC than Mac actually) and I still think that having a MacOS machine/OS as main workstation represent an additional value beside the hardware cost(unless you have specific needs).Īs a matter of fact PC requires more management than Mac, I can do that by my self but If I have to factor in the cost of my time for building and managing my machines over the years, probably PC will end up cost as much or more than my Mac(that has needed zero maintenance in the same period of time). The funny thing is that if somebody ask me about buying a new Windows PC I try to give advice about building the best hardware for their needs, I do not tell him: hey, just buy a Mac instead! On the other end as soon as someone ask about a Mac every PC user come in advising to get a PC because of this and that(carefully avoiding to tell the downside).
