Macs are more focused on ease of use, and are better equipped for graphics, movie/photo editing, and made to appear more attractive, both externally and software-wise, to your average consumer.
PCs are more focused on providing an overall adequate user experience that allows more modification for more advanced consumers to personalize it to their specific needs.
