I've always been a PC guy didn't know about MACs except that they were expansive as hell... then I became a graphic designer and studied on MACs and also worked on MACs. Now I know for sure PCs are way better than MACs.
MACs cost more for less, less compatibility (cameras, printers, cellphones, scanners etc), less softwares (games) harder to find pirated softwares, cost a legs to repair etc... Most people I know that have a MAC also run Windows so in order to run Windows people pay more and have less compatibilities... lolll, not for me I guess. |
I won't comment on other things, but I do take issue with the bolded statement. Not that I'd argue that it'd be easier to find pirated software, just that there are so much free and open source alternatives available nowadays that pirating software is very seldom, if ever, justifiable.

When you're studying specific programs like Autodesks and Adobe cheaper alternatives are not an option... try to find something that'll replace the programs you'll use in real life... "Ehh sir we need someone that knows Nuke... Compositing Magic is not what we're looking for sorry... NEXT!!!"
Sorry I'll go with the industry and use what they need.

If you're really studying, then you can get Nuke student licence, for example, at 95% discount. Most other software makers also provide very cheap student licences, and many schools provide the software installed on school hardware. And if you're studying to become a professional, using the software to make a living, then you definitely don't have justification to pirate it.
