bit lightweight really....
you should try Braeburn, they're a happy medium
I'm typing on a Mac now. I used a PC for years, but have had this for work for 18 months. When I change jobs next month the company only works with PC's. I can't wait.
I love my iPhone and iPad, but this...nope, just don't get on with it. It is slow and hangs. I would really recommend having a good play around with one before you make the switch...it is, after all, what we all advise each other when buying cameras. Buttons in different places, new shortcuts to learn etc.
Now, I am mainly using Office on Mac (the Mac equivalents maybe better but you then need to invest and learn those as well) not PS or LR. But as someone else said, I have jus bought a HP Pavillion desktop with an i3 processor in and it whips through processing. I plugged it into my old Samsung display (a good 7 years old) and it is working really well. For the change versus a MAC I could still go out and buy a decent new monitor and have additional change.
My tuppence worth - and a view that surprises me having been so keen to have a Mac.

MAC are more expensive to buy.. but I for one would never go back to a PC. My Macbook is a fast now as the day it was bought five years ago how many PC owners can say that. When the Apple bring out new operating systems it costs £25, a lot cheaper than MS windows and how many users have dropped back to older operating systems until MS can their latest offering more stable.... remember XP when it was first rolled out ... I do. My HP Pavillion, which I refuse to power up, now runs so slow after MS has made their usual go slow upgrades. Defrags, registry cleans, cache, history and uninstalling unused programs won't speed the machine up..
So NO I will not be reverting back to a PC!!!!

I for one can't. All my PCs are faster now than when I bought them.
Just as you buy either a Nikon or a Canon - and then stick with your choice because, within a few months you have invested 10 times as much in lenses and accessories as the original camera body cost - so you buy either a PC or a Mac and then stick with that choice because you have invested 10 times as much in software as the original computer cost.
So, because we are financially trapped with our choices, we tend to rationalise like mad to justify our original selection.
That, plus the indisputable fact that Nikon and PC are far superior to the competition!!
