I like PCs and usually own at least one at any given moment. At the same time, I own and use Macs for things related to music and film production. Using Macs has never been a lifestyle decision except in the sense that, in order to be a working artist, I had to learn to use them. The decision was to get work as an artist, not swear allegiance to a product line.

Being a mac person or being a pc person?
It's not that hard. All else aside, if you use a Mac for some stuff and and you use a PC for some stuff, does one of them make you say "I like this, and I'll go get one of these for my personal use, and it will be the machine I prefer when I could choose either."
If so, then your are "that" person.
You are a "PC person" based on your statement that you like and own PCs, and apparently use mac just because it's the standard for certain particular work tasks.
It's not necessarily about brand loyalty or lifestyle choices beyond the direct one.
There are some people who have no preference or feelings of "like" for either. They are not "computer people."
