Sometimes it may be a myth that using Macs is better for graphics design. It may have been true in the past, definitely, but perhaps not so much now.

Well there IS that Apple program for video editing, Final Cut Pro, which many regard as the best. Its not available for PC. HOWEVER there are other programs for PC that could work. For graphic design though, the "best" program is Adobe (they have a few good ones), and THAT is available for PC & Mac.
