[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 732971, member: 13556"] I switched from PC to Mac years ago, and now own one MacBook Pro and two iMacs (21.5 and 27). The MacBook is for use when I travel or want to work away from my desk, and on tasks not requiring much in the way of video demand. The iMacs are shared by everyone in the family when they're home, but I usually use the 27, with its 5k Retina video for anything to do with photo editing and review. For the extra money, the 27 is, IMHO, the only way to go if you buy an iMac for photography. One item the author of the article overlooks is the used market for purchase. He discusses how a computer is not going to retain its value after you purchase it, but fails to discuss using that to your advantage. OWC (Macsales.com), for one, sells used and refurbished Mac products, often at considerable discount over new, and I've experienced very good service when dealing from them. If you balk at purchasing a Mac product due to the price, you might keep an eye on their used iMac section ([URL]https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Apple_Systems/Used/Macs_and_Tablets?_ga=2.91037401.279435236.1588606498-1841914302.1588606498[/URL]) for a good deal. Many of their offerings can be customized with RAM or hard drive upgrades at reasonable prices, as well. WM [/QUOTE]
