I just prefer Macs because I work as software engineer, and prefer the UNIX which Macs use (OSX is a UNIX derivate). So most of the times the Mac is my workhorse. I have both, a Mac as notebook computer and a PC as a standalone computer (Core i5 16 Gig Ram NVidia 660). I prefer to play on the notebook in bed, most of the times I stream the game via Steam inhouse streaming with the game being run on the PC, because many times there is no mac port of a game, although the situation has become significantly better (My Mac Steam list is about 1/3rd of my PC Steam list). Inhouse streaming really works well if you have a good wifi connection. In case of Dreamfall chapters, inhouse streaming did not work with a controller so I reverted to the native Mac version which was (to some degree still is) more unstable than the PC version of the game. >> According to the forums, there is a graphically very demanding area >> where the framerate really becomes unstable (Europolis).
