Mac or PC is a matter of preference. I use a Mac at work, and a couple of PCs networked at home.
Neither type is any harder to use than the other. When working properly, you should just power it on and open the application(s) you will use. These will be the most work to master.
In fact it is the APPLICATION (software) that you have to learn. The tools I use the most are Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and In Design, CorelDRAW, Excel, and a half dozen others. I have most of these apps installed in BOTH types of computers and the transition from one type to the other almost seamless. The buggest difference is a couple of keyboard commands. (CTRL+S or COM+S for save, for example)
Your first Mac? The first question you need to ask is "What will I be doing with my system?" Figure out what you will be doing with it and THEN get the system that will do it. For web surfing and school homework, the most basic systems will work fine. If you intend to do heavy gaming or other graphic intensive apps, you will probably need a faster processor.
That might be your key. Get the fastest processor with as much ram as you can afford. Don't forget to consider the peripheral equipment in your budget considerations. (printer, CD/DVD burner, internet hook-ups, etc.)

I agree with him, Mac's are brilliant. I'm 16 and have been using OS X almost since it came out (about 2001). i have (well my parents have) upgraded with ever new release of OS X and each one just gets better. it is very to get used too, for everything you can do on a PC theres an equal and easier version on Mac OS X. if need be you can install Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point ETC... also if you've used Firefox on a PC then the Mac OS X version is similar but they have thee own version called Safari, which is very hand. Also it is much better looking than XP or anything Windows could ever offer.

With this stated, it style of feels you have spoke back your very own question. don't get me incorrect, i admire Macs and have been using them through fact the Apple IIe...hahaha yet one element I even have seen a difficulty is that most of the courses you ought to apply will, most of the time, no longer artwork on the Mac platform. it quite is through fact of Mac OS being proprietary. in my view, through fact of each and every of the flaws you love to do, i might advise staying with the residing house windows, in easy terms through fact you do no longer choose to disrupt any progression you have inclusive of your image layout, sound enhancing and DJ-ing.

they're so user friendly that you overthink everything and it can be confusing at first. (if you're used to using a pc)
