Most famous musicians don't compose their own music.

Because the only reason people buy macs are for the status. They pay thousands of dollars for the little apple logo -__-
A.It's called BootCamp.I can run anything PC can.
B.I'm not talking about these crappy pop stars today.I'm talking about real music.I have 2 guitar teachers.They both use Macs and say they're great.

Cool you can run anything a pc can for thousands of dollars more than a pc. That's because they don't know anything about computers. Most of the reputable people on this forum do this for a living and know what they are talking about and for you to come in here and say that they are wrong when you are the one asking for advice in the first place cracks me up. Ignorant people promoting ignorant things.

Can't run it as well as a pc can on your underpowerd mac.
Of course they say they are great. Haven't used anything else.

You're still ignoring the fact that you can't get any decent hardware on a mac for $800, which is the OP's budget.
So im an idiot?And like I said.I don't know everything about computers.All i know is that I can run minecraft at highest settings and get a good 40 FPS.I never said he should get a Mac.All i said was why not a mac.I'm a student, a musician and a casual gamer.And my Mac does all those things great.
I am also all of those and I still hated my mac...

Its called Vmware fusion/Virtual Box. I can run anything your mac can better.
I don't really bash on apple folks for saying they "like Macs more," they are kinda pretty. But really, to try and argue a Mac has better performance than a Windows PC is a joke. Nothing Apple has a performance gain over a competitor, that's a simple fact, you're paying for luxury.
Seriously I could build a computer 4x the power of your Mac for 1k and buy another copy of my 24" 1080p monitor to go with it. If you're trying to argue performance you're gonna lose.
Actually both my teachers have used PCs before and said that they would never go back.
Because they didn't spend the 5 minutes to learn how to use the software? Or they wanted a shiny pc? Or they got a cheap pc like an acer? Why wouldn't they go back?
I am also all of those and I still hated my mac...
how?I'm a student.I can run anything i would ever need to be a student and more.Musician,Garageband and about 100 other programs for composing.And like i've already said.The games i play right now run amazing.

Cool story. A pc can do all of that and more for A FRACTION OF THE PRICE. I don't think you are understanding our point. Sure your mac can do those things great for 1000$ while a pc could do all that and more for 600$. My 400$ pc can run minecraft at 100 fps high settings.

WoW I get a good 50 FPS.Portal 2 i get a good 60 FPS.Both TF2 and CS:S I also get a good 60.
What are your specs and when did you buy it and for how much? And are those games maxed out? Also those are very non intensive games to run. Come back when you can easily play BF3 or shogun total war or another intensive game like that on at least medium.
Like saying, "I'll go get a mac and make a video in windows movie maker. Oh yeah that's right mac doesn't have it."
More programs and more options are available on pc.
Most famous musicians don't compose their own music.
i5 6600k 4.6ghz / MSI 280X / 8Gb 2666 DDR4 / Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 / TX550M / 500Gb 850 EVO / NZXT S340 / Corsair K65 / Corsair M60
Toshiba Quismo
'Nuff said.

I composed this on a PC. Get wrecked.
Fl studios, Cubase, Ableton, propler head... Just to name a few.
Most famous muscians use a non mac based DAW.
Its called Vmware fusion/Virtual Box. I can run anything your mac can better.
Because they dont need ****! They record and that takes literally 1-20% CPU usage on a single core machine.

40 FPS on Minecraft is hardly amazing.

This.
