Should YOU Buy an Apple Mac or a PC for Your Desk Setup in 2022?

With the release of Apple's new M1 chips, the decision to buy a PC or Mac has become very difficult for many of us. In the past, Apple has been known for overpricing their hardware compared to PC components. Although now, could it still be the case? lets take a look!

I'm team both. I've been using Windows my whole life, starting at Windows 3.1. The ME through Vista era was dark times (and what prompted me to get my first MacBook), but since Windows 7, I think PCs have been very solid. Windows 10 and 11 have treated me quite well.

Really, I prefer to just let each platform do what it's best at: Windows for my custom gaming PC, Mac for my laptop. I can build just the right gaming PC in exactly the enclosure I want, throw in a few huge HDDs for network file storage, and be good to go. It makes for a great entertainment system. Mac desktop computers just make zero sense for me. I prefer to work on a laptop, and my MacBook Pro just makes the process much easier than I've ever experienced with a Windows laptop. Getting developer tools setup is much less of a process, the built in display is great for photography work, CoreAudio in macOS is just rock-solid reliable and makes music production that extra bit easier, and I really prefer the macOS UI - it helps me to work much faster than I ever could in Windows.

Well; am a Gamer, Designer and Creative artist. So I always find myself using both.. But I use the Pc more heavily than that of the Mac.

I've been on both sides of the fence... And the long-term support for custom PCs has no equal. Once Apple drops support for their computers, you're abandoned, stranded, forced to buy a new computer. PCs, on the other hand can have a second life as a home server, NAS or even an HTPC.

Beyond that, I'm on my way to become a full-time Linux user which is a new level of experience and has been a fascinating learning process.

I don’t even understand anything about pc stuff, I just like watching your videos because you’re an amazing creator Andres. Keep up the quality content!

[julianvalderrama]

I really fell in love with this video, it's very funny, especially in the intro, when Andres makes half a heart with his hand and Jan replies hahah... they are so funny, really all the videos are very funny and of high value, thanks for existing andres, without you I don't know what to do in my free time, and besides, it's not just spending time with your videos but also learning. Saludes valecito.

I switched from 16 core AMD system to MBP with M1 Max cpu. Very happy of this choice. Editing stop motion animations is butter smooth, even with 8k raw material source.

Grew up with PCs all my life. My family had a Windows XP machine when I was born, and she still boots up and runs fine to this day. In the late 2000s, we upgraded our main machine to an HP MediaCenter laptop, again a fantastic machine that still runs today (It was built for Windows Vista, which runs smoothly on it). We got an Acer laptop that eventually bootlooped, and another Acer laptop that runs insanely slowly since the hard drive seems to be damaged. In 2019 I got a PC laptop and it was fine for my needs, but I decided to jump to a 2015 MacBook Pro in 2020 and I'm typing on it right now. I'd say both sides are solid, although Mac fits my needs better :)

Man I love your intros. It's just so good. Hollywood level cinematography. Kudos Andres.

[Will-bkgr]

i loved the intro cinematic. Was hilarious. really well done!

[JeffChapman]

EXCELLENT video. Hard to find an unbiased review like this. You just earned a sub!

[navixaxa]

The answer is BOTH. I’ve used both for the past 20 years or so? No idea. Windows solely for Gaming, and Mac for my Work. You never miss out on anything like this 😉.

Tho I can’s say the same for phones and pads. Have only used iPhones and iPads and never Android (except for the S7 Edge; that too only for a few months 😂).

[the_tech_bot]

Bro your cinematic stuffs in the intros are getting better each time. And sometimes if i even dont have time, i'd still watch those first clip just because i know its so goood

[saranciuc]

been a windows and mac user for many years. Windows was my main os + pc for working while the mac was just for exporting projects in xcode lol. In the last year I decided to go full mac with a m1 max ultra and I have no regrets, except gaming. But I have a feeling it's going to change in the next 2 years. :)

[adityaanil]

the intro Skit is too good!!!
the song, the script....
EPIC!

1:46 - this is the dream setup. maybe include a lightbar on the monitor for better lighting during the dark

mac is only great in terms of video work.. custom pc i feel is an all rounder.. at the same price point, you can do video stuff, design, 3d design, gaming pretty much everything.. mac has the ecosystem thing which can be considered.. however in terms of raw performance and real world work stuff, custom pc is more value..

[angelopebs]

I needed this video 2 months ago. Was on the fence about it but I saw your iPad 9 video. Bought it then a Mac and I have to say, as a student and writer, it’s been amazing.

[erinvincent]

I swear this is the best funniest intro I've ever seen from you. The best.

[elgraphic_]

I was looking for this video man! Thank You!
