Software is still somewhat limited for Mac unless you run bootcamp. Other than that, I think all pcs kinda suck. Although I do have a tendency to run too many programs at a time.

As for software, I guess it just depends on which software you want. When it comes to photography and video, I find the Mac offerings to be better, which is what I wanted on my home CPU, so the switch for me was great across the board. I'm sure there is some software that PC's are better at though too. It just wasn't anything I needed, so no issues for me. However, that does raise a good point, as if there is a certain PC specific software that you use all the time, that could influence what CPU would be the best for you. On the flip side, there is some software for Macs that isn't available for PCs, just depends on what you need and use Dly. Good luck with the decision.

Both My Daughters use Macs in their work (one works for the local newspaper and the other at the local PBS tv station). They both tell me how their Macs crash and burn about once a month. Sounds about the same PC or Mac.
Bought a custom builted one from a local company here C & P distributing. Used Intel motherboard and a i3 CPU for what I needed. 1 TB Hard Drive and 4 megs of ram. Copied my old HD and saved all my photos. $800
Scotty I get a discount to from Dell but the guys above promised 1 day service on a Sunday and have a good rep around here.
Thanks for all the replys guys it all helps
