With that out of the way, let’s dive in and see how these two computers compare.

Puget’s PC may not look quite as sleek as the Mac Pro in a side-by-side comparison, but they DO look sharp, and their performance is what really matters, especially for this showdown. While Apple takes the prize in design aesthetics, that’s not why we’re here. That said, let’s scratch the “you should build it yourself” argument. Many of us have little to no interest in spending our time building out our own computers.

Some may argue that these machines can be built for less money rather than purchasing them all ready to go, but that’s somewhat like saying, “Why buy a car when you can build one yourself for less?” A lot of people don’t know how to build their own computers and they don’t care to learn. If we were to build out the Apple to match the Puget Systems PC, we would have to shell out over $16,000. To be clear, we’re comparing computers at the same price point, not with the same hardware. I then went to Apple and spec’d out a Mac Pro for the same price. The resulting PC from Puget Systems, which included the AMD 3970X Threadripper, priced out at $8,000.

I wanted it to be able to masterfully handle RAW processing, high-megapixel cameras, as well as a 4K RAW production workflow for video. For this contest, I asked Puget to build a flagship PC that would be a content creator’s dream. Our outlook changed, however, when we came across Puget Systems. PC’s typically do not feature the same design forethought that clearly goes into Apple products and they usually use cheaper components. Why? As I mentioned previously, finding a quality PC has always proven challenging for our studio. Even though I’ve personally had issues with some of the Apple computers I’ve purchased over the last few years, they generally hold up better than our store-bought PC’s.įor the PC, we chose to go with Puget Systems. Moreover, the components used inside Apple computers, from the hardware to the displays, are generally high quality. It’s completely free of cables and clutter, and its sleek design has become iconic. The Mac Pro is a thing of beauty, both inside and out. That said, we’re going to base our test strictly on performance at the purchase price of $8,000 and see just how significant a difference there is between Apple and a high-quality PC system builder. Those who love Apple, however, appreciate Apple’s overall operating system and the experience that goes with owning and operating an Apple computer. In general, when comparing Apple & PC’s, you’re going to get more hardware and performance value on the PC side.
