I can build a nice PC in less than 30 minutes + another 35-40 to install the OS....probably less time than it takes to get to a store, buy, bring home, and set up a MAC. Considering that I spent about $1500 less than an equivalent MAC. That means I paid myself over $1000 an hour.
PC's are just as reliable, mine is on 24/7 and I've not had a hardware failure in several years. I upgrade the primary components every 3-4 years at minimal expense (about $230 last March for my current PC). And I can run Linux, etc....
My brother does a ton of AV, Video, Animation, and audio work (advanced stuff/college level) and he is 100% PC, he would not even consider a MAC....WAY too expensive, especially with animation, when you need the fastest system possible, his is ultra fast, an equivalent MAC would be about $3000+....his was under $700.
MAC's are for people with more $$ than ˘˘
