i am a professional photographer, and have considered switching to mac for some time. im currently on a machine running an intel 2.33 quad core, with 8 gigs of ram, and a nvidia geforce 9500gs graphics processor. with windows vista 64(blech!)
i do not game. but on a bold (or indecisive) day i may have lightroom, photoshop, dreamweaver, firefox, vuze, pidgen, open office, and maybe some other random smallish apps. running.
what would you say the cheapest mac i could get, that would be comprable to my current machine (im sure i would do fine on something with "slower" specs, i just basically want to be able to do what i want to do, without wanting to break my machine)
thank you!
