I have to say it's definetally a "fashion" contest. You have to weigh up which you need more. On one hand, the Mac is a brilliant PC with a powerful core and great graphics, everything you'll ever need for a media editing station and more. If your going to go for online gaming, word processing and other things I have to say that Windows is the better option. It may not be as stable, but it's more supported and it just helps when you have a problem that can be fixed fairly easy, despite whether that problem would have arisen on the Mac or not. Mac laptops are a whole other story.. and I'm nearly late for school so I'll address it later :P
