Many professional photographers and editors end up being overwhelmed at the sheer amount of choice available when it comes to choosing a PC and end up retreating to the relative simplicity a Mac Pro affords, when in reality this usually isnt the best option for them.When compared to the latest Intel Skylake X and Coffee Lake architectures employed in Chillblast PCs, this leaves much to be desired.
Better For Photo Editing Or Pc Mac Pro AffordsThose looking for an affordable solution are well served by the 1500 Photo OC Lite IV. This system certainly isnt light in specification, with the brand brand new six-cored Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, 16GB of 2400MHz DDR4 RAM, an NVIDA GeForce GTX 1050 video card and an ultra-fast 256GB M.2 solid state drive. Technical gobbledegook aside, that adds up to a system thats up to 40 faster than the Mac Pro and costs half as much. This system has double the cores of a normal Core i7 computer and that makes it a monster for both photo and video editing workloads. It serves up rendering and video editing performance almost double that of the 3000 Mac Pro, yet costs 700 less. Better For Photo Editing Or Pc Windows 10 Is EveryWindows 10 is every bit the match of Mac OS when it comes to stability, security and speed, yet offers a vastly larger software library and enhanced convenience thanks to features like Cortana personal assistant, biometric logins and better multitasking features. It may be the case that some editing programs run better on a mac in comparison to a pc with similar specs, but for buckets more coin.

Like the higher quality and better functioning stuff got sent to apple, and the stuff more likely to fail was sent to PC manufacturers. Theres no swaying some people - theyve been brainwashed that Apple is amazing and cant comprehend anything else. In fact if youre artistic type the PC can give you more flexability because of device like Tablet PCs. Yes, there are tablet pads for Macs and Hackintosh Tablets but nothing really like a TPC. At the end of the day you go with PCs for more options generally unless you need something Mac only. The only reason a Mac is justified for graphics design is when dealing with typography, which is when OSXs better-for-print font rendering engine comes into play. For me at least, Windows font rendering is horribly aliased and whats on the screen looks nothing like on print, while on a Mac the results on the screen almost perfectly matches the result on paper. In the past I would agree MACs were more user friendly for graphical things. But with PCs being more powerful, and a MAC becoming a PC with a retarded OS (personal feelings of Apple OSs) slapped on top the field is more in a PCs favor now, especially with 64bit support. Power users as this thread seems to be showing are banking towards PCs for the amount of customizing they can do, and what you get for your dollar. Better For Photo Editing Or Pc Exe For PsI also disagree with Ps being superior in OSX considering there is no 64bit exe for Ps in OSX. Someone can look at that as oh well you can allow more memory in Ps64.exe in Windows, but that doesnt matter, well - depending on what type of files and what size of files you are working with, yes it does matter. Fonts used to favor Mac simply because initially PS (Postscript) fonts were Mac only; that was a LONG time ago though. Macs have practically ditched PS fonts, just like Windows never really had (unless you used ATM Adobe Type Manager) - now pretty much everything is either OpenType or TrueType and either works with both. I will say (on the font issue) Ive had more issues in Font Book with hundreds of fonts activeinstalled, vs no problems in Windows with hundreds of fonts activeinstalled. Macs really do need font management apps (I still have FontExplorer X installed at work even though now Linotype has removed the freeware version of it), I have yet to have issues though in Windows (Vista or now 7) with a lot of fonts installed. Again though - as its already been said - either platform works. Designing is not a platform dependent thing anymore, and it hasnt been for a long time, actually. Lightroom Aperture Picasa iPhoto Photoshop is photoshop on either platform. For video Macs have some advantages like Final Cut and iMovie. There is Sony Vegas and Premiere to compete with Final Cut though.
