Honestly though if you put a Mac and a PC with the same specs side by side and compared how Photoshop for example, performed on each, you wouldn't even notice any difference at all.
The only reason Macs are seen as a graphic designers choice of computer is down to their advertising, and brainwashing powers, which, credit to them, has worked. A lot of graphic designers will use Macs rather than PCs, because they've been brainwashed into thinking they're essential, when they just aren't at all.
If you were a company and needed computers, what would you do? Buy 5 Macs or 10 PC's?? Knowing that the more you have the more work you'll get done? I know I'd rather have 10 PC's....
Side note: I use Macs every single day at college so I've experienced the best of both worlds quite thoroughly. Yeh Windows can lag with certain Adobe programs quite a lot, but it happens just as often on Macs. The amount of times I've felt like smashing the screen after staring at that stupid coloured spinning wheel on the screen....
