Mac vs PC Video: It's Not What You Think

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

It's not always easy debating the merits of a Mac versus a PC, especially if you're a Mac user. Things tend to get ugly rather quickly, and before you know it, Mac users are telling us to shut our damn pie-holes, in which we, the PC users, respond by calling our Mac brethren whiny losers before laying the smack down.

But while both sides present intelligent arguments such as the ones above, supplemented with entertaining commercials with celebrity OS pitchmen, the real question remains: If Macs and PCs could become Transformers, which side would win in a fight?

Digital media designer Nick Greenlee is glad that you asked and has created a wicked sick high definition video of a Mac and PC going head to head. Motion capture animation, HDRI, and 3D compositing galore, Greenlee's short film won Best Compositing at Artimation 2008.

Check it out here, then post your smack talk below.

avatarThe best part....

The best part was when the PC "Upgraded" to XP from Vista and started to run faster.  That was good for a laugh.

avatarI remember seeing this half

I remember seeing this half a year ago, and even then I noticed right away that to beat a PC you need several High-end TOWER macs. What is the point of a mac if you need a tower for it. People buy macs because then they have less cables to deal with. This makes the mac kind of pointless if it is the same as a PC

avatarEventhough the mac "wins" in

Eventhough the mac "wins" in this video, it does show that it takes an entire lab full of mac's to match the power of one cheap PC.
