I’m going to toss my hat into the ring of an age-old debate; Mac or PC? While many people will argue their opinion one way over the other, for me it comes down to performance. I want to be on the platform that offers the best performance for what I must do. I do most of my work from a laptop that I like to dock at the office when I need to be stationary. This had led to me trying a variety of laptops, both Mac and PC, in the search for the perfect solution.

In the video below I put the Asus GL502VS up against the Macbook Pro. While these machines both have different specs, the GL502VS is technically a gaming laptop, I was curious which one was better for video editing. For my testing, I will be rendering the same project on both machines using Premiere Pro CC. Let’s see who wins in the video below.

The operating system is probably the biggest advantage. Since Macs are now Intel-based the hardware isn't much of an exclusivity issue. You can buy or build a PC with comparable parts for cheaper, but there can be some inherent problems with funct. While Mac hardware and software is denoted by its stability, the difference here has lessened. The odds of getting a virus or malware with a PC remain higher than with a Mac, but this is more about the numbers game than technology. About 7.5% of the computers in use are Mac, according to IDC, so hackers spend more time and creativity attacking PCs. Yes, Mac users can use the free Migration Assistant utility that resides in macOS’s Utilities folder to transfer files from a Mac, a Windows 7 PC, or a Windows 10 PC, but you have to network the. PC: The Mac or PC argument has raged for many years between home computer users! Forget Star Wars – think Computer Wars when it comes to Macs and Windows PCs. Sure, there are other operating systems such as Ubuntu, the Debian-based Linux OS, but these are way in the minority.

Who doesn't love a good Mac versus PC debate? Photographer Manny Ortiz, whose videos we've covered on many occasions, recently made a new one outlining five reasons why he chose a PC over a MacBook for his photo and video editing needs in 2017. Ortiz wanted something powerful enough to edit 4K video while still being portable enough to take while travelling. He has experience with both Mac and Windows computers.

Let's take a look at a few of his reasons for ultimately choosing a Dell XPS 15 laptop over the latest 15-inch MacBook Pro. The first reason he opted for the Dell is one many users have for opting for a PC over a Mac…price. For a similarly-equipped laptop, Manny saved around $1,000 by going with the Dell. That's a lot of money you can spend elsewhere. Another reason Ortiz went with the Dell is that the XPS 15 model has more varied ports than the MacBook Pro, which now relies solely on USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports and a headphone jack. Nobody likes adapters and dongles. To see the rest of Ortiz's reasoning for going with a new PC over a Mac, check out the video below.

Ortiz raises many good points in his video and I agree with him on basically everything. Nonetheless, I wrote this on a MacBook Pro. I've been a Mac user since I was in elementary school and am fully invested in the macOS and iOS ecosystem. I also put a premium on customer service, an area where Apple has excelled for me. I would rather pay more for a Mac and not have to worry about compatibility with the software I use or deal with learning a different operating system. With that said, saving money on a computer while ending up with more functionality and power sounds great too. There are a lot of options out there.
