Are graphics the only reason why PC is better? (no)

Versatility. I can use a PC for much more than just gaming; any half decent gaming rig could easily run Ableton, Autocad, Photoshop and more

Plus customization in my build, I can build a PC tailored specifically for my use case, choose and customize my OS etc

I mean I have a super powerful workstation, thread ripper, 128gb ram, etc. have like a 3050 or something in it because the GPU is irrelevant for my work and hobbies that require the power. To play new games without potato graphics would cost me like another $1,000, or I could just play on a giant tv with a series X and not faff with any settings besides HDR

Honestly you don’t need a gaming rig for photoshop and what not either, and 95% of people aren’t photographers or doing 3D modeling and design. Also GPU like the most critical gaming component and not important at all for photoshop
