Changing operating systems is difficult - an unnatural act. A simple suggestion - stick with what is familiar to you. Both technologies are receiving good upgrades and advance in parallel. I know others that feel exactly the same way about the choice but reverse their preference. Personally, there is one I find impossibly obtuse, and one I like. It's a personal/character/cultural thing.

Got it - all the CPU and memory in the world wont overcome weak graphics.Īs to PC vs MAC. That means that if you have to edit on battery power, the MacBook is a much better choice. You can easily upgrade memory after the purchase, so if it's a choice, now, between processor or memory, get the faster processor - but if it's a choice between a faster processor and faster graphics get the faster graphics. The GPU alone can suck around 90W, and that goes beyond any battery in any laptop. Buy a little more machine than you think you need. The mysteries of computers causes a marginal, but perfectly adequate computer when you buy it, to become less than adequate a year later.

Certain high-end apps for such purposes are macOS only. Both technologies are perfectly capable, it's the horsepower in the one you choose that counts - and your performance expectation. Macs have been traditionally popular with designers and video editors for a good reason.
