Peterpools Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 OMG, what a Pain!! I've been an iMac user for close to seven years and my Mac was a bit long in the tooth and getting very tired. Photography is a huge passion and over the years the new versions of Photoshop and Lightroom, have brought my Mac to his knees when doing specific processing of RAW files. I was hoping the BIG announcement that Apple was going to make at the end of October would include the new iMac but alas: nothing. I needed to upgrade and just couldn't hold off any longer. I use a Dell PC at work and decided to buy one with the features I needed. I also opted for a BenQ SW240 Photographic Monitor and getting everything to work has been a huge challenge. I'm not that comfortable setting up a PC (at work, the IT guy does everything) and my comfort zone has always been the Mac. Live and learn. I've managed to set up email, my browser and get the monitor working but a lot of adjustments need to be made to both. The monitor needs the latest drivers as well as the NVidia GTX 1060 card but I'm slowly getting there. Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Been a MAC users for about the same time Peter. Don't know if I could switch....harv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Harv Believe me. I really didn't want to switch but I just didn't have any options. My new system is specifically set up for photography and an iMac Pro was way out of the budget. Besides,. I type like crap no matter which system I'm using.

If Peter is looking for retro Porn, I'm sure this would float (or sink) his boat: Gaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunhertz Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I went into the apple store a couple of weeks ago as my pc needs replacing. And the wife had to call an ambulance for my heart after seeing the price! Yes pc's can be awkward and windows 10 is poor IMHO. So I still haven't bought a replacement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Never buy a ready built PC. Get a custom built one, way cheaper. Windows 10 is superb once you get used to it. Just the Edge browser is crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I guess I'm lucky as my youngest son, he's 33, always takes care of any computer problems, etc for me. He built my last two computers so any time I have a problem I get him to check it out. Very cost effective! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
