PC vs. Mac (for home recording studio)

Both are equally acceptable options for home use and in professional music producing (most DAW's run on them). It depends on whether the user personally prefers Windows 10 or OS X. I know plenty of DJ's and producers on each side. PC's can boot OS X and Mac's can boot Windows 10, meaning that neither route locks the user entirely.

For laptops, most well-reputed Windows machines have superior better performance per dollar, but Macs have superior build quality and a lower failure rate. For desktops, the Mac Pro is dated and far overpriced; however the 5K iMac offers an ultra high resolution display that can hardly be found anywhere else. On the laptop side, I would go with Macbook Pro 2015 because I will pay more for a machine that isn't flimsy and won't crap out after a year. On the desktop side, I would go with a PC; because Macs with 16 GB of RAM and an SSD are overpriced.
