Since syphon and quartz composer only runs on OSX, MacBook pro, unless the PC is a hackintosh.

forget hackintosh, it's more trouble than it's worth. You obviously have the money to spend, so get e real Mac.

I have 2 Resolume licenses, one on a PC, and another on a MBP, they both work well, but i'd recommend Mac, for the above mentioned Syphon, and QC.

Mac is maybe more Stable, Quartz and Syphon also works.
on PC the Hardware is cheaper and also the Performance can be better.

don't know which resolutions on macbook pro with 6750 are smooth.
but if you need more performance for multiscreenings and high resolutions, you might be happier with a PC ;)

... And this is the other side to it... depends on what you are wanting to do... pc is much cheaper and you can always replace and change. With my MBP im a little stuck on what i can do with it. Still suits me fine though :D

If you are deciding the route to choose. I say go with what fits you.

Stability wise they both are good 2go.

MAC has Syphon and Quartz Composer.

Windows platform are more flexible in the graphics card area and motherboard features.

FYI: Hackintoshin a PC was not too much trouble for me, but I am not advocating that you should try it. I've done a laptop and an MSI big bang Marshal board with 8 pci-e slots . Both were i7 type.

Anyways go MAC if you can afford, go PC if you don't need Syphon and/or Quartz

Which is better is only relevant per features, and not so much the type of OS.
Very subjective matter and needing a more intentional purpose.
