If you concern on budget, I would suggest to buy PC. Althought I never touch on MAC, My reasons is just price to expensive. Some people said MAC has a lot of feature and excellent on graphic but I just confused why suddenly MAC turn to used Intel processor.
If you concern on virus attack or updated, I still trusted on Microsoft support and Mcafee support. Alternative, you can changed to Linux Operating System.
One thing, You can buy Mac operating system and install to your PC. I love my PC...

Biggest problems with Macs is the price. PCs are generic, so they're much cheaper. Macs are only made by one company so the price is substantially higher.
I was recently looking at a Mac whose specs were quite a bit less than that of my current desktop that I bought over a year ago, yet the Mac was still several hundred pounds higher than the price I paid for it.
So, in terms of raw computing power, Macs are more expensive. Whether they are sufficiently better to use to make up for this price differential, I don't know.
Although the latest Macs do have the ability to emulate a PC so you can still use your PC software on it, I have heard different accounts of how good that works. Largely seems to depend on whether the person discussing the feature is a raving Apple fanboy or not. Some Mac users who use PCs as well think it isn't very good. People who think Steve Jobs is a god rave over it.

this is the easiest decision you ever have to make in life. . for there is no other answer than BUY A MAC.
from the moment this machine comes out of the box . it will feel like you traded in your old jalopy for a rolls royce! Plug it on and bam . .you are on the internet. . McAfee subscriptions and updates will be a thing of the past. . .the OS platform is bar none the best and most user friendly you will ever experience. . have a problem just go and use "force quit" feature and you are clear and ready to go to whatever you want to do . . need to find something on your computer . go up to the friendly right hand looking glass and type it in . and there you will find it!
Best part of it all . is you will become one of the apple people . .and should you ever encounter a problem . .just go to apple's web site for support and request someone to call you back . and before you can hit "submit" your phone will be ringing with an apple person ready and willing to help you fix or answer whatever it is!!!!
It may seem like you are shelling out a bit more money at the start . .but trust me in the long run . a Mac is worth every dollar !

MAC if you have the money for it. PC for those on budget. There are many software choices that I know for PC that can do all you need. Well, MACs are great and i do mean GREAT but the cost a whole lot more but they run photoshop a lot better and PCs are okay but you got those virus, and the OS is has a lot of bugs and the MAC OS are like the best so I would get a MAC but its up to you but you got to remember they cost a lot more and I would get the MAC PRO with 8GB of RAM because they use their RAM a lot better along with their processeor but for what you spend with that you can get like a great PC for $1500 and would be about $3000 for a good MAC.
