Does anyone know of any recent and good article online that does benches of recent PC and Mac hardware for comparison? I would like to get hard data if i can, im sick of hearing all these debates, i want to see numbers.
Why do you want to see bullshit synthetic benchmarks instead of hearing informed opinions (possibly bullshit as well)?
Numbers are not everything, and if you think about it, they really don't mean anything. The same programs can't run on both systems, ergo every benchmark is not really valid.
99% of articles on the subject are severely biased, so there really isn't a point. Besides that, neither is *better* than the other.
What are you planning on doing with it? That determines which is better for you. For nonlinear video editing and to a lesser extent graphic editing Macs have a slight edge, with PC workstations getting closer every generation.
If you like a super user centric interface, then Mac is probably the way to go as well. Despite the advertising, I assure you that Macs are not any less vulnerable to virii than PC, its just that no one targets them.
If you like upgradability, better more program compatability, 3d modeling (industrial mostly) then I would suggest PC. If you want to have a prayer of gaming, go PC (unless the macintels allow better porting).
Well what do you want from your pc, that is where your answer will be, not in some article, or in any numbers?
If all you need is articles, then use google, if you want advice, post on this forum.
