Photography: If you plan on extensive photography work what software are you planing to run.main choices are:Pixelmator: Availible in the mac app store works like photoshop elements and is nice for advance tuning of photo'sphotoshop: Still used by a lot of people and still expensive to boot mostly for professional use Gimp: A open source photo editor with a steep learning curve.Aperture: all though apple is preparing to get rid of the support for this product it still has some impressive tools for photographers old and new.Iphoto: Good for beginners.Now ask your self what will i be using for editing because if you are using photoshop you would honestly want the faster machine if you plan on video editing in the future you might want final cut and are going to need the extra power.I live by the motto if i have the money to purchase the faster and better model i should buy it now even if i am not going to use all that power right away.VsMan i need a new machine after 2 years.</blockquote>
