Presuming you use Photoshop and Lightroom. it's hard to see what difference it makes.

I use PCs now, used to use Macs professionally. The Macs used to have a better interface but these days Windows is so slick there is no material difference.

I have no bias one way or the other and I use an iPad in preference to other tablets. But for a desktop, unless your major concern is looks, there would be no point in changing.

The acid test is how do you like your displays. If you get bugged by very glossy reflective screens then the apple offering will bug the hell out of you, ask Cathy or search for her thread. I avoid it because believe it or not it trigger migraines in me. I changed a screen at work and they left as quickly as they started, its a person to person thing, some people will never notice others will get bugged by it. So for me display choice is a big thing. But those reflective glossy screens are a triumph of style over function and a real turn off for a photo editing machine.

After that what is the difference again, the OS is a trivial thing and there is not a lot of difference. Just replaced my old base station with a Quad core i5 with 6G of RAM and retained the monitor. It flys through RAW processing and all my license files transferred across though I did have to download a few 64 bit versions of some of the programs.

I looked at this and I found for the price of a basic mac, I could buy a far better specced PC.

Quote: everything on the Mac just "works"

Is there a modern system that this is not true on. Even Linux just works these days.
