[QUOTE="JM Photography, post: 770791, member: 75193"] I have a photography business. I am in the process of switching everything to mac. I just purchased my new 15" Macbook pro about two weeks ago. New version with 4g ram and 2.53 processor. I LOVE IT and the whole Mac system, which is why I want to switch my main desktop over soon. I primarily do Photoshop CS4. I am not a high volume studio. Maybe 20 weddings a year and a few portraits each week. I am debating between an imac 24" or a Mac Pro. I always built my own PC's from scratch, so I like the ability of being able to change parts (if needed in the future) on the Mac Pro. However, the Mac pro as you all know is a chunk of change. I am not sure If I will really use the power of the pro, but I like some of the flexibility with changing drives, video cards, memory in the future as well as more monitor options. I was looking at base Mac Pro for $2799 with two 2.8 quad xeon's and 2gb of memory that I can always upgrade later. I have a decent 22" samsung monitor that I can use for now and then later upgrade to a Cinema display or maybe an Eizo. But, for the same price as a Pro I can get a 24" imac with 4g of ram and an additional monitor like an Eizo and now have dual monitors for the same price. If I go with an imac, everyone said to wait until after Mac world in Jan. I am thinking there wont be any changes to the Mac Pro though. I am looking for honest feedback from someone who is not a salesman. Thanks a bunch in advance. [/QUOTE]
