As for them being fine with photoshop....yeh they are to a point but again, compared to a Mac Pro they are no contest. I have a Mac Mini on my desk and an iMac in my receptionists room and 5 Mac Pro's in the studio so I have compared them on day to day tasks. Plus as I said, I was talking about heavy lifting like Final Cut Pro (video editing). The iMac's just aren't up to it. Neither are similar spec PC's.
