Yea, that's true. GIMP is no where near PS. :-/ I love Linux as well (especially Mint and SuSE editions), but Windows (8.1) works extremely fast, and it's far more stable (in desktop environments). But nowadays it's kind of silly to talk about "stability", when it comes to Windows. I've never experienced a single glitch on 8 or 8.1, Windows 7 was awesome, as so was XP. I was a system admin for 9 years and was managing 150+ computers. When Windows runs on a high-end machine, and you don't run pirated software on it and some crazy drivers, I simply can not phantom a situation, which would cause a machine to stall.
Mac or PC?

If you travel around a lot you need a macbook cause aluminium>plastic especially on the road
If you just work from home or in an office at a desk it doesn't matter if you use pc or mac I guess.
If you go in the Apple territory with prices anyway, then X1 from Lenovo might be a better solution: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon vs Apple MacBook Air Infographic (very interesting stuff).
I have had no end of problems with most verisions of windows, problems usualy come in the form of updates. I'll get an update and my drivers are no longer compaituble, loose sound, wifi or something else I dont want to loose ( this is with the latest drivers installed) if you try re installing the driver then it gets compatability issues. Now I am on windows 10, up until the last update was running perfect ( found the same thing withthe 7 preview ). I am acctually debating outsourcing all my grapics work so I can change my system back to a linux machine or maybe look at doing the hackintosh thing again.
Nice infographic, thanks!
But why no comparison with macbook pro retina? Same price.

I don't think I've ever put my hands on a Mac. I've been on the PC bandwagon since 1982 when I opened up my mainframe and mini mainframe support and supply company (Automated Data Supply). PC's came on big about the same time and haven't looked to switch since.
Mac is loved by many, but I can't find any reasonable cause to switch.

I have to say the iMac is the best and has the OS there is it never gives me any trouble I accept all the updates and I have personally replaced the HD now that was a great thing for me .More difficult than a PC The glass front comes off and you need rubber suction caps . My machine has been going since 2009 and I have a mac book pro same vintage . Will be Putting SSD into it go here to find out how ifixit.com all the information ..Last year I bought a HP elitedesk 800 core i7 but back in Jan, I switched to a 27" iMac. And I'm just loving it
Hi well if it works for you stick to it . But do you ever have any virus or blue screens I did but I know now computers are like cars they need a little servicing . Thing was I always thought Mac users were snotty nerds till my friend showed me his one day that was it . The o/s well the latest one was free or almost and its based on industrial strength linux style core apparently . I am shooting for a new one soon the iMac 5K retina display .Apple - iMac with Retina 5K display I just love beauty inside and out maxing it to 32gig of ram . Connect that to my soon to get VPN server and sizzle .
- Ok can you explain that a little for me .
- I was a PC user and well back then some things were my fault but it was only when I switched to Mac that I got complete reliability and never lost any data ..
- Nowadays I have good back up but I do remember being down quite often spending more time with tech friends .
- And uninstall a program Mac just drag it into the trash . simple .
- It was always a contradiction the system with the most flaws was running the commercial world .
- A funny thing whats good Enough for the President is good for me yes all the White House staff are Mac users.
- This is google... you have to have a good reason to use windows
- They predominantly use Mac, Linux, and even Chrome OS especially for sales and admin staff.
- They used to use Windows before too but they made that change a couple of years back.
- Development staff may and still do use Windows but everyone else has to have a very good reason to request to use a Windows machine.
Google will no longer allow staff to use Windows on their machines because of security fears, according to reports
Well if the biggest Company on the planet says that has to be noted .

- 2010: Finally the year of the Mac? and that was dated five years ago..
- Now I don't mind who uses what but can you tell me you problems
- Too expensive well no did some research and am quoting my findings
- I am in the market this year for a iMac 5K retina display $2500 in round figures .
- Now a 5K Dell screen alone with no computer was more than the iMac 5K retina
- Dell had to drop their price LOL
Now I hope all you windows lovers are taking note as I have gone out and gathered you the facts nothing but the facts .
The first major decision most people make when purchasing a new computer is whether to buy a Mac or a PC. The two computers can seem a world apart, and both have diehard fans willing to defend their favorite's qualities. But have you ever noticed that Macs seem much more expensive than PCs? After all, you can walk into a computer store right now and walk out with a brand new PC for around $300. If you were shopping for a Mac, on the other hand, it would be impossible to spend less than $1,000.please note ...
So what's the deal with Mac pricing? Are they really more expensive than PCs?
As it turns out, there isn't much of a price difference between comparable Macs and PCs. If you built a PC to match what a baseline Mac offers -- with similar hardware, equivalent software, and all of the bells and whistles that come standard on a Mac tale of the tape is they are not the same same under the hood -- you'd actually be looking at two similarly priced computers [source:McCracken]. One company -- Tom's Hardware -- wanted to see if there was really a price difference. It built a PC to match the specs of a base model Mac Pro and found the price difference to be less than $6 [source:Nguyen].
So if Macs aren't more expensive than their PC counterparts, why can't you go out today and buy a Mac for a few hundred dollars? A lot of the price difference comes down to options and perceptions.

Oh got if a democrat like Obamr or the other tyrant uses mac then I don't want toI Have a iMac and a Macbook pro both 2009 and still going well if its good enough for the President that says something and well Google banned Microsoft long ago for security reasons ..
Honestly this is a unnecessary debate. I didn't like Apple computers until I actually tried them and now basically all my products are from Apple. Its not for everyone - you either like it or not.
Im still using Windows/Android for certain things but the time I switched to Apple products my life got way easier.
Don't get me wrong - this is a different experience for everyone and maybe it might just be the opposite for you
Just be happy with whatever you like and don't start a fanboy war! : )

HA there you are nearly all who don't like Apple Mac have never owned/used/or tried one thats it like people who have tattoos don't care if you don't and well its mainly the PC crowd who throw the first stone like the small man syndrome but there is something fanatical about Mac users it is a cult I feel . Could be worse .
