... not if you're on a Mac.
If you're on a Mac desktop (or laptop), and the power suddenly goes out, you don't lose a thing. When power comes back and your computer boots up, everything including all unsaved documents, images, video edits, are exactly where you left off.

And dude, drop your "switching sooner" crap. It's clearly a lie, you have been using Macbook for years. And why you have some sick need to post and trash PCs and question the intellect of PC owners, is anyone's guess. But it is a typical mental attitude among the Apple fanatic community.

No MPG, you're wrong - give Sid70 a little credit here, he's right.
I used PC's forever until I tried a Mac in 2009. Since then, all of our office machines are Mac's except for 1 PC. And like Sid, I wish I had switched sooner.
Sure we can argue speed and tech all you want. What I noticed and fell in love with was:
- Ultra-clear screen
- Very long battery life on laptops
- Mac OSX is very easy to use.
- Everything is intuitive and exactly where it should be.
- RELIABLE. Oh my god, reliable. It just works perfectly.
- It LASTS. I'm typing this on a 2009 iMac 27". That's 8 years of reliability.
- No stupid viruses. No Malware. No crap.
- FAST Technical support. Calls by phone take only minutes. No credit card required. Support even after warranty has expired. Support in English, by a genuine Canadian or American, and not by someone in India or elsewhere.
- Runs every program I want. No such thing as compatibility problems.
Comparing Hardware to hardware shouldn't always be the one and only reason on which computer to buy. Sure PC's are faster, but the fastest machines can run hot, or be unstable and require endless driver updates, or take up too much space, too much cable mess, etc, and sometimes require extra support from multiple vendors just to solve a problem.
PC owners scream "Apple Fanboy" all the time, but trust me, our recommendations are based on experience on both platforms. (I have a PC Running Windows 10 too, btw). PC Guys that refuse to consider Apple without even stepping into an Apple store and trying a machine out are just locking themselves out of getting some information that may help them make better computer choices in the future.
