It has been a long held myth in the media industry that an expensive Mac was superior to a PC at handling content and images. However a test of the two has discovered that a PC cleans Apple’s clock.

SLR Lounge’s test saw a custom built PC annihilate a $4,000 Mac in each of the tasks performed in SLR Lounge’s Lightroom challenge. The PC spec based around an Intel I7-5960x @ 3.00ghz Overclocked To 4.5ghz ($1025), Asus Rog Rampage V Extreme($480), Ram 64gb ($350), Evga Nvidia Geforce Gtx 980 Ti ($630), Samsung 850 Evo 1tb ($300), Corsair 450d Case ($125), Corsair Ax860 Power Supply ($140), Corsair Hydro H110 Water Cooler ($120), Windows 10 Pro ($100/$200), Eizo 27? Flexscan Ips Display 2560×1440 ($1000). The rig cost $4,370. The Mac had Intel i7 Quad-Core 4.00Ghz, 32GB 1867Mhz DDR3 SDRAM, 1TB Flash Storage, AMD Radeon R9 M395X w/ 4GB Video Memory and cost $4,431.
