There are PC video cards that will smoke any MAC on rendering. Problem is people dont want to invest a grand in a video car. PCS have WAY more options for upgrades. Lots of store bough PCs come with gaming cards with suck for video. Mac puts a decent card. You can still get a card that is 10 X faster for HD rendering. Mac comes configured thats why people prefer mac and there aren't many viruses that attack macs. Macs are perfect for the guy who is computer stupid and doesnt care to bother with researching hardware.
In my eyes would be take the same money and build 3 PCs that smoke any mac and not only are you faster but you can render 3 projects at once.

Now on an 8 core Mac with 4 gigs of RAM and 4 internal TB drives. HD plays back in real time with as many filters as I can throw at it practically.
Doing a lot on a PC doesn't mean shit if I can't do heavy rendering, transferring and ripping at the same time. All processes of which are heavy resource hogs.
A month or so ago I posted on here that I had well over 100 browser windows open. It's not about the quantity of applications, it's about the quality of the applications that are running.
