<p>Marc, why all the rationalizing? You've answered your own question! Just get the PC from Amzn and be happy! I still have G5 Mac towers from back in the early part of the century that still run and are rock solid reliable. The PCs that I have are only useful when running Win10, everything else sux. I have a MBP that also runs Win10 using VMWare Fusion8, Rock solid and faster than my comparable i7 PCs running Win10. Maybe the Mac system board is just that much better?<br>
If you believe the Win10 PC suits your needs as an appliance for your photography, then you really have no questions to ask. Just make your move!</p>
