[QUOTE="FiosFiend, post: 1038599, member: 121836"] Well as someone who switched just last year to the Mac after years of PC use and building I can say with out reservation that I'll never go back to a PC. Im also a photographer, thought not professional, and the Mac is the perfect choice for this. With the release of the new i5/i7 powered Macbooks you could do everything you mentioned easily on a MBP. You didn't say whether you were looking for a desktop or laptop but the new 27inch iMac with a quad core processor would be fantastic as well. With regard to customization, I've found the Mac to be just as customizable as any PC I've ever owned or built. What I love is that it just works all the time. It never crashes, it never freezes and when I do get the occasional web plug in bug I can force close the browser without having to restart the computer. In fact the only times I've ever closed my computer down is when there been some major software update that requires a restart. I usually just close the lid when I'm done and then just open it up when I want to work. The Mac actually has a sleep mode that works, instant sleep and instant wake up. As far as peripherals go, I've only had one problem. I had a portable scanner that would not work with the Mac. My desktop scanner was no problem. That's just my 2 cents, get what you like, but for me, I'll never go back to PC. [/QUOTE]
