I am studying graphic design and need to know whether to buy a Mac or PC laptop.
I have always been a fan of PC , building my own and such and have stayed clear of Mac since the price is just silly but is a mac the better option for graphic design?
I have stuck with Pc previously because of gaming but now it comes to graphic design I am really not sure.
It kills me to feel the need to buy a Mac but I want to make the right decision.
Thanks for any help in advance <3

13" Retina MBP recieved a price drop this year, suppose that makes it more appealing. Also mavericks and haswell give battery life an improvement.

I would reccomend a PC not a MAC as there is alot of programs you can get on a PC that you cannot get on a MAC

For Graphic Design - Go with a mac. You have more software available in that field, and are easier to navigate. Windows are better for home \ gaming devices.

If you're using a Mac for graphic design its better than a PC,thats why most graphic designers use macs.
