theres nothing to choose between them ive used macs and pc's for many years and theyre both CRAP for all you mac users (especially the designers) get over the hype - Apple have done a bang up job in indoctrinating you into their marketing culture so much so that you activeley defent the machine. as for PC users just shut the fuck up i dont care.
Its a bloody tool, just like a pencil you dont see people here arguing between a faber castelle pencil and a rotoring isoball do you.

noone was arguing until you came in trooperbill. this topic has finally been beaten into submission. its all preference.

my mac has crashed once in the last 6 months.
maybe the problem with your mac is sitting behind the unit that sits behind the keyboard.

Faber Castel all the way. You take that Dixon Ticonderoga and shove it up your butt.

First, I have to agree with trooperbill, then I have to say I am the only designer working with a PC in my office. Everyday, I feel I'm waaay much better with may pc...
Nobody mentioned a important issue in this thread: the costs. Amac is much more expensive than a PC. I believe thats an important factor....

"I have a BRAND NEW DELL at work and an Apple G5 at home. The Dell is so bad that I had to bring in a 333mhz g3 powerbook (lombard). The g3 laptop has 128 megs of ram, somehow runs osx, and is so (and I mean SOOO) much better than the dell that it is unbelievable."
Haha, If you are gonna lie, at least make it a little plausible..
Sincerely,

i dont see how some of you cant see a difference when using a mac for design purposes. i have a dell 1.5GHz and a new powerbook 1.5GHz, the PB kicks so much more ass than my PC. it can just handle more load and it's so smooth. the looks of the apple are a pleasant sidenote of the whole idea of mac.
i would hate doing anything design related on PC, too slow. although i guess people can make then which makes them cheap. and you can fix them. apple is apple.
money is a huge factor.

a 1.5 Ghz PC is old!
a 3.4 GHz PC with 1 gig of ram will beat the crap out of any PB, and it still would cost 4 times cheaper.

---------------------What you forget (or never knew) is that the architecture of the two processors is completely different. You can't measure 1:1 in terms of clock speed.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to the "Use what works for what you need it" camp. There are a lot of us there.
