I dont know but everyone has his own opinion and according to me its PC which is more comfortable to do all kinds of graphics work specially the editing task in photoshop.

Depends on the job..haha. It's usually used for color-correcting and clipping images or rendering package design. Definitely nothing like forums signatures though for sure.

Hi all and happy holidays
Wanted to add my 2 cents here so here it goes.
Back in the late 80's and early 90's your statement was true however there was a third system that nobody ever heard of named SGI and they helped Nintendo with the N64 and also made many powerful systems even by todays standards(super computers) .
Soon after that they where also helping Apple, NVidia and some other gfx company's. Now macs have the same hardware as pcs and there is very little difference hardware wise.
In the early 90s right on until about 2005 macs had an edge over many pcs due to its ability to render 3d graphics faster and also having friendly end user programs. Some of this technology was gained from SGI.
Now just about all computer have this tech build into the gpu, cpu or apu.

well i personally think $3,000 (absolute minimum you pay for a mac pro which is technically in itself a waste of money considering you're not making use of the package deal at all) for a computer is absolutely crazy considering how good my pc is for 1,200, 2 years ago

i dont really know what the average user uses 16gb of ram for, and their graphic cards are not meant for gaming at all? and IMO the non gamers that have computers are just facebook/solitaire/email chain junkies. huge waste of money if you ask me

imo apple is only maybe better than pc because of the great package deal they give for their workstation graphic cards. the only other argument is that mac just works a bit more fluidly for their art programs. woopie. so if you're not into professional 3d modeling you should just buy a fking pc

*shrug*

Why do people keep bringing up the price of a mac.
It's completely irrelevant to the original question.

"Are Macs Better Than Pc For Animations"
"Well I bought my PC for $2,000"

Well then. I guess we got our answer.
Time to close the thread.
