Is this another PC vs Mac thread?

I can process pictures faster on my wife's low end Mac Book Pro that we paid $1100 three years ago than I can on my Dell PC at work that we paid $2000 for three years ago.

Of course the windows machine is probably full of malware that hasn't been cleaned off in six months. If you take in to account the work PC has had to be wiped three times in the last three years because of viruses, and then figure in how much the down time is worth to me the PC's just are not as cheap. However I prefer the PC for excel, windows and outlook, plus most of the online games I play require windows. My solution to this is to pay a few extra dollars for the Mac, buy windows and run it with Boot Camp on the Mac.

The "uber" Mac Book Pro will do anything you want, and if it doesn't and you need that much processing power you should be looking at a Mac Pro.
