I think to be fair, the video was focusing on portable MAC set ups. like iphones, ipads, exc..
When it comes to MAC DAW's. I would much prefer a MAC to a PC. Logic pro is amazing. they are just very expensive.
Though I have used a PC for many years now and I cant say I have experienced any downtime due to PC issues.
Not even a bad hard drive, RAM or PSU. Sure I have probably been lucky but I found as long as you keep up on maintenance and hardware, once you know its getting old/outdated.
 
Once the DAW is open though, is there really much of a difference ? 
Im not making a statement, im actually asking a question. 

As a person who works in a mac based studio and a pc based studio daily...for the most part no, especially if computer is specialised as a DAW. Most windows issues i have run across are due to the glut of bs products available for pc that end up mucking up pc. The pc based studio i run has not had a hint of a hiccup. There is literally no other software on computer except DAW ( studio one pro), ableton lite,a few third party plugins like maschine, and drivers for interface anx controller Never crashed. The mac i run logic in runs well but does occasionally crash about once every other month.

I think both are good platforms if set correctly. What I find curious is the statement, " I just hooked up my MAC and made music".
 
I did the same thing. I hooked up my PC, loaded Sonar and I only needed to think about making  music. Happens every time I boot it up. Where is the difference?
 
We mostly only see the problems here on the forum. I'm sure the Mac forum also see mostly only the problems. Once again, where is the difference? Other than price?

MS is really a software company and still provide legacy support.  Apple is a proprietary software/hardware product which usually has more stability.   MS biggest mistake is trying to model Apple in being a hardware company.  

That so-posed authentic vid about the Apple Guy is about as real as one of those older Hitler Vids 
 
As far as plug and play PC VS Mac ....give me a F#$cking Break Man ....if you don't have and use both like I do and some other people around here do . How would you even know the difference ?
 
If we were talking about Indy Car Racing as it applies to Mac VS PC it would go just like this
 
Mac , I hop in my car and drive my a$$ off to win the race ...
 
PC , I hop in my car  and then all of a sudden my car decides I have to run diagnostics and update a bunch of stuff I don't even want ...
While i'm doing that I have to baby sit the damn thing and fix what it has decided to eff up ...
I finally get to the starting line and do the pace lap...at last , things are smooth for a little while then I need to come into the Pit's and get some gas and change my tires ..
I hop out of my car grab a jack and start changing my tires , when I'm done with that I go put some gas into my car and continue to run the race
Yeah alright ....if you think it ain't much different than that ..try owning them both, PC and Mac and using them both for music ...
then come back here and tell me other wise

The end results are about the same but Apple devices are engineered to be more "plug-n-play" than PCs, often not needing to install drivers or additional software as they are built in.
 
I may change my mind if that 2nd vid is true.

FWIW, I still own and work with PCs. They've certainly gotten way better than they were, thanks in large part to basically becoming more and more Apple-like.
 

Actually, the opposite is true.  When Macs hit the wall with the PowerPC processor and PCs were leaping ahead, they basically switched to PC architecture.  All the decades of x86 development driven by the PC was adopted by Apple.  Current Macs owe 100% of their hardware lineage to the PC.  They are basically PCs running OSX.

This ^^
 
 

I bought my wife a Mac Book Pro a couple of years ago.
 
She hated it. Not entirely sure why... Perhaps she was just too used to the Windows GUI and keyboard.
 
I must admit that, each time she thought she had a problem I struggled myself to find a solution. Old dog, new tricks.
 
Eventually she gave it to our older son and it now has Windows 10 on it. Not as straight forward as you think, but he got it working and uses it regularly. Sacrilege? Maybe...
 
Personally, I don't mind different operating systems and, for a while, I rescued an older laptop by putting Ubuntu on it. So, if I had an apple computer I am sure I would put the effort in and get used to it.
 
Main reason I never moved over to apple is price, pure and simple.

It's not. The poster admits in his comments to the video that he put it together even though he was an Apple fan, but asks Tom Cook for a meeting to discuss the future of Apple. Ha ha ha ha.
