I'm going to have to get a Macbook for my animation program next year. I don't like it but I accept it.
I'm here to ask where the 'Macs are best for artists' meme comes from. I mean you can run PS and 3D modeling software on Windows just fine. Is Apple just paying off studios and schools to use their crap?
They just come with a bunch of programs headed toward creativity. That's really it.

Buy a Thinkpad and do a hackintosh.
Less expensive.
Better trackpoint (and trackpad).

it's really not
In the 90s and early 00s, PowerPC was better at the sort of processing required for image and video editing. Software aimed at the professional market ran best on macs, and was often developed for and released first on that platform. When apple switched over to intel processors, that advantage was lost (and had been for some years anyway), but industry inertia meant that most "professional creatives" were used to working on macs, meaning that they continued to purchase and use them.

Interesting. I thought the bundled programs alone were enough to convince people to go with a Mac.

It was true before the Intel era.
Maybe because there are less malware, but even windows defender is effective enough.
