"What's better Mac or PC?"

Well, it depends. For everyday use (such as email, web browsing, YouTube, Whatsapp, shopping, Netflix, etc), as well as entertainment, some gaming, communication, web design, light motion graphics, light 3D, video/photo editing, some animation, programming, office work, light lab simulation, some 3D modeling, and some engineering/academic tasks, a Mac is stylish and will perform reliably and stably. On the other hand, a Windows PC machine will do exactly the same tasks as Macs are doing, plus heavy gaming (based on the CPU generation, number of cores, the amount of RAM, and the GPU power) a bit unpolished (most laptops feels cheap) compared to a Macs, with more exposure to viruses, ransomware, and trojans, and in most cases way cheaper than Macs, but hardware customizable and even with some Adobe apps that are optimized to work better with them. However, for highly demanding tasks that necessitate a shit-load of raw processing power, light-speed data transfer, and near real-time virtualization, in a rapid work environment, customized Windows OS hardware is highly recommended. Linux-flavored OS PCs are kind of OK, but don't raise your expectations too much, they can serve a certain type of clientele as a cost-efficient alternative (as they are free OSs, lol), but they may lack integration and development with certain hardware and with the mainstream industry-standard software (Adobe, Microsoft Office) and may require extensive use of terminal commands and memorized abbreviations just for the basic PC workflow. And for your amusement, there are even the so-called "Hackintoshes"-customized build-up PCs running Macintosh operating systems. They say it outperformed real Macs in terms of speed and time execution of various tasks, but it might get complicated with them on every Mac OS update.

A Mac has been a more expensive PC since Apple abandoned PowerPC.
