Hello sulafa-ga:
It is my pleasure to answer your question, once again. Earlier, I
replied to one of your queries regarding eBay.
From your question, I can safely make three assumptions.
1) You want to know why people involved in digital arts and movies
prefer MAC?
2) You will not be using any sophisticated application. Keeping that
in mind, Is MAC the right choice for you?
3) What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of MAC?
Let me answer your questions briefly in my own words and than I will
provide you links where you can find further answers to your
questions.
Most people who are involved in digital arts and movies use MAC not
because it has an edge over PC in the related fields but because of
the MAC history.
Actually, it was Apple that first started to provide local colleges
and Universities with Apple computers. Because of this fact, until
early 1990’s, almost all of the Educational institutions used MAC
operating system. At the same time, Apple made sure that the software
it is producing is only available from Apple and nothing similar is
available in the market.
As a result, students and teachers were stuck with the MAC’s. Also,
Apple produced revolutionary software for digital arts and Movie
producers to gain an upper hand in the digital art market.
That is precisely why you see many digital arts and movie people using
MAC because their initial training was based on MAC and historically
most advanced software in Digital Arts was produced by Apple
Computers. Take an example of iDVD and iMovie software.
As the director of Animations at Oxygen, Kit Kaybourne describes this
phenomenon, “The tools from Apple have allowed Oxygen to make work
that is amazingly sophisticated using off-the-shelf products on the
desktop”. (Source: Apple Media Arts at http://www.apple.com)
Come to the second question. Yes, almost all of the professionals in
the computer industry agree that when it comes to the ‘casual user’,
MAC is the best choice.
The reason is simple. Not only does MAC has a very user friendly
interface but whether you get an iMac, iBook, PowerBook, or G4
desktop, there's no need to find a video card, Ethernet card, modem
card, USB card, or even a FireWire card. Everything you need is in the
box, and the OS can handle it all. (Source: Tech TV)
Let’s tackle the third question. Since, every product in the market
has its disadvantages and advantages; it is a very broad category. I
am providing you links to the related material on the web where you
can read in detail. Please refer to ‘Links’ below:
