As I wrote about, I have always been the biggest Apple fan anyone’s ever seen. Especially with my background in graphic design, it only made sense to use an Apple computer. Naturally, as I transitioned into being a photographer, I continued to use nothing but Apple computers, and I do still maintain that they make an excellent, high-quality product. That said, it does come at a price, a rather hefty price that made me question things. With the introduction of the iMac Pro and the lack of claimed production of any new Mac Pros at the time, I began to really lose my excitement for the Apple computers, as the entry-level price point is very high, and I have never liked iMac anyway since I like to be able to choose what display I use. This led me down the path of investigating whether or not it was actually feasible to use a Windows machine for my production computer.

Before you say “of course it was possible, duh” I should clarify that what I mean is I am over-the-top picky with every little fine nuance of any platform: how well do all the little shortcuts work, how can I shave off seconds off of each image’s retouching, etc. And the Mac OS is very good at all those fine little details and efficiency; the Mac finder is an incredibly powerful organizational tool itself. Combining that with the stability and security of the base platform that Mac OS is built on, it was a very large pill to swallow to consider using Windows and all the hassles that come along with it. But the price point made it where I didn't have a whole lot of choice, so I purchased a new PC that was designed for gaming, since the specs also align well with graphic design, photography, and video editing. Differences Between the Platforms The hardware isn't really that much different between the Mac and PC, both using Intel processors, same hard drives, etc. The PC actually offered significantly more options in the GPU department, and I was excited by that and went with a balance of the good GPU versus not spending a ton (GTX 1070). So, I knew that as far as performance goes, there shouldn't be much difference between a well-equipped Mac and a similarly equipped PC except for the price. What concerned me was the stability, reliability, and overall hassles that Windows has been plagued with for years.

The last Windows platform I had used was Windows 7, and needless to say, it had many problems and was quite clunky compared to Mac. I am pleased to say that Windows 10 is an unbelievable leap forward for Windows and the user experience and general overall feel of it is vastly improved over the old Windows versions. Windows 10 also is reported to be and so far has proven to be much more stable than prior versions as well.
