[QUOTE="Sue de Nimes, post: 1393950, member: 248101"] To be honest if I was spending £4000 on a high end machine now for graphics work I would not get a Mac. Yes, you can get a Mac Pro for £4000 that will perform well. It will however be outperformed but a Windows based machine assembled for half that. The Mac Pro range hasn't been upgraded in some time. It currently is supplied with Westmere based processors which are 2 generations behind Ivy Bridge. (Due out April/May) I assume you will be using Adobe CS? IT is the same on Windows as it is on Mac. You just want to pick whatever will give you the most grunt. With a Windows based machine you will get more grunt for less money. [/QUOTE]
