You need to give us more to go on. You can program C/C++ on a Raspberry Pi without issue. So clearly you aren't buying either machine to learn to program C/C++

You need to give us more to go on. You can program C/C++ on a Raspberry Pi without issue. So clearly you aren't buying either machine to learn to program C/C++ on. Any PC or computer made in the last thirty years would be equally good for that. So tell us your real requirements (e.g. gaming, DVDs, digital video, etc) and what you really do day to day (e.g. mobile users, "workstation replacement," etc)?
