<p>I'm just curious if one of them have a specific advantage over the other. I currently have a Macbook Pro. Any suggestions/solid recommendations?</p>

<p>The dominant program in professional practice is Revit, and it only runs on Windows. However I have a Mac and so does my son in architecture school, we just use Bootcamp to run windows.</p>

<p>Aside from high cost and inability to upgrade/customize…Nope theres no specific advantage of a Mac over a PC.</p>

<p>You could debate the cost is worth it but this provided link should provide sufficient argument.</p>

<p>Also I just don’t like the fact that macs aren’t customizable. Sure you can choose between a mac and a Macbook Pro and decide how much RAM and and processing power you want. But that’s not truly customizing. </p>

<p>You can build a windows PC from scratch. You could build another PC from scratch and load it with Mac OS X…but it would still be a pc. Just saying.</p>

<p>And Macs are far less prone to viruses and built like workhorses.</p>
