I use my 2008 MBP for a lot of my freelance work and I'm seriously considering the 27" iMac. I still have a dual 2 GHz G5 in my studio at home that seriously needs replacing. At my day job I have a 2009 MacPro tower with 2 TB drives, 2 4-core Xeons and 16 GB RAM, fine if you're a company with lots of cash for such machines and with all the video I produce the extra horsepower is worth every penny but I don't need all of that for my home business. One of my close friends in the sign business was considering a MacPro tower recently but went with the 27" iMac too and he loves it. It handles large Photoshop files with ease. Again, excellent and timely article! Keep up the good work Giz! I think this was an excellent article! I use my 2008 MBP for a lot of my freelance work and I’m seriously considering the 27″ iMac.

Seriously, talk about stating the obvious! This was a real waste of time. What a dumb article.

Here is the upgrade option that will turbocharge the iMac. 70 meg tiff files will open in one second. http://mpgproone.com/ I’ll probably move to the iMac in the not too distant future, the dual core MBP is struggling with large photoshop files.

Apple's MacPro system is perfectly capable of running as a server - and that's the way they're selling Mac OS X Server right now. I don't see it changing. I would bet against that.
