    Mac... PC...
    Use whatever you are best fit with. I use Mac so I can test things in both OS X and Windows environments when I develope things. One thing is for sure.
    Mac = Work, Graphics | Windows = Games

    Of course both environments can be used for both things, but from personal experience games run better on Windows (if they are Windows only) and working is more fluid and safe in a Mac OS X.
    I personally have an iMac 27" with a Windows Bootcamp when I wanna play some FFXIV.

    My brother is all about this... he is so 3DSmax and Blender and Lightwave that he NEEDS a mac....
    and if you NEED a Mac for work and you through some bootcamp on there so you can game without buying another PC... then you're just a smart cookie...

    edit: that 27" picture is BEAUTIFUL

    Dude, if I say that -I- have better luck with Macs, and that -in my experience- things run just as well or better, how is that not true? Do you have a camera in my house that I don't know about?

    You jumped to conclusions about what I said about myself and are acting like I made huge blanket statements. The Mac brand has always meant quality to me, and I used to be a PC user. I had nothing but trouble with them. My run with Macs haven't been perfect, but they've been much better than with PCs. I attribute this to better hardware and/or craftsmanship. If the parts are the same now, I stand corrected, but I don't really care. It's not a big deal, and nothing of value was lost. Chill.
