It USED to be that, with Macs, you could specifically allot the amount of RAM that your computer would use to run a program. This was really handy for us designers who were using design programs with graphics that would need a whole lot more memory to process than, say, a word processing program.
Nowadays, I don't know if you can manually do that anymore but, as one other user stated, the general set up is geared toward more heavy duty processors that allow for complex memory-hogging projects that arise in the design world.
I also know a lot of musicians who like Macs for mixing and storing their music.
In the scheme of things, Macs just seem to have much more stable platforms than the PC. They don't crash as often or get "hung-up" as often. And let me tell ya... I was a die-hard PC fan for about ten years before I found myself in a situation where I had to use BOTH... and eventually found that I'd much rather have all my important work/documents on a Mac, not a PC.
hope that helps.

MACs generally do better when it comes to grphical tasks, like movie making and photos. On the other hand, PCs have the advantage of much more available software. In addition, MACs are usually more expensive than most PCs. If you need to do high end graphics, then a MAC is the way to go. Otherwise get a PC.

Mac runs a version of BSD Unix (and/or Windows) and PC only runs Windows.
Mac has a lot of software optimized for graphic design and video and audio editing.
Depending on which hardware you're looking at, Mac might be cheaper (Mac Book vs. Lenovo Thinkpad; Mac Pro vs. Dell)

pcs are always full of viruses macs never can get, pcs always have to be up- graded to keep up, macs only need up grades every 3-4 years. they cost the same. and there is no such thing as a good pc.

A Mac is made by Apple and a PC is made from a total different company.
