ELI5: Why do artists (musicians, photographers, graphic designers etc.) predominantly use Macs to produce their work?
gpt
Nowadays, there really isn't a good reason to use macs over pcs, unless one only knows how to use the mac exclusive software. Its largely a holdover from the past. A lot of the best creative software was only available on macs, or had mac exclusive features. Not the case anymore. Macs also tended to use relatively high end components, thats not to say you couldn't build an equivalently powered pc. It has pretty much been the case for a very long time that you could build an equivalent pc for less than a mac. However apple simply had a reputation for customer service and quality components, that was important to people who were less tech savvy but still needed good performance out of your machine.
