[QUOTE="didymus, post: 891302, member: 98293"] The killer for me is that the Pro is already 2-3 years old, which probably means it has another 2-3 years before things begin to go pear-shaped. I moved from the PC to the iMac just a few months ago and have not regretted it. I, too, am a keen photographer and the iMac has been entirely satisfactory, particularly as I run Windows as a virtual machine under VMFusion (means that I don't have to shell out for Apple variants of Photoshop and EssentialHDR). As for added hard discs - you can use Firewire or USB to run an external hard disc - I have a 1Tb external disc for back-up (currently only about 70 pounds), but there's plenty of room there to divide it and use half of it for other purposes. My choice would be the iMac. [/QUOTE]
