Hi!

After reinstalling windows on my pc for the third time in 2 days :mad: i really like to change my Desktop Pc to a Mac.

FYI: I already have a MB (2010) and love it-that's why i like to change my desktop too ;)

My problem is, that i don't know which Mac could be the best for me or if my choice would make me happy ;)

My Pc:
Intel E8500, 4 GB RAM, some HDDs

I plan to buy a Mac Mini:
I7
4 GB RAM (but i like to change it to min.8 GB by my own)
750 GB HDD

And of course i need some external drives. One backup drive is already there and i plan to use a Firewire hdd or thunderbolt or just over network,i don't know?

Software i use:
Lightroom and Photoshop CS6

I plan to buy a new Eizo Monitor later then...
I thought about an imac too, but i don't need that display for photoshop-so the mac mini would be the more cheap alternative for me :)

But-is the performance ok for photoshop cs6?
Would this setup be an upgrade for me?
Or could i be disappointed by performance?
I'd be really happy for some tips and advices!
