They look nice, different OS... personal preference really.

I just wish I could get Lightroom to work on Linux. Then I'd be quite happy.

I am very proficient with a computer, 7-8 I'd say.

My parents manage fine with their PCs running XP. My father also has a Mac but he mostly uses his PCs, I'd say a 4-6 for them.

I don't know anyone who's competency and proficiency using a computer of any kind is under 6 who owns a Mac.

NOW....why is it everyone get so excited about Apple???
Is it because we are photographers and it is much better suited to our media?
I have heard you can't get the range of software for it like a PC, but then if you are just editing photographic work mainly, that wd not be a disadvantage?

Can someone please concisely list a few pointers in order of importance why I should buy a MAC notebook over a PC?

Hate to say it Lilly, but this ones been beaten to death....

You simply cannot got wrong using a Mac for photo editing.
PC's can do the job, but there are lots of problems out there....

PCs are just as capable and you can get much faster machines than a mac for less. You can go a whole level better in many cases. I see no reason why a Mac is any more advantageous than a PC. Never had a problem with either so it is really personal preference (untill you include Vista, in which case get a Mac, Vista is Cr@p no matter what).

I didn't know there was a 135-600 What a monster!

Still, doesn't come near the Sigma 200-500F2.8 ($15,000).

I just took my dog for a walk along aberavon beach, it were great!

took my camera too.

got some great shots of gulls, kites, kitesurfers.

got home and realised I'd left it on iso 1600, banding was awful

I've just unticked the box for keeping iso on switchoff.

Anything else I should let the camera 'forget'?

I sometimes forget that I have that checked, I was shooting at a party and each time I turned the camera on I wondered why it was telling me the image would be underexposed. Then I realised that it was at ISO100 not 400

I better get a shot of something flying or similar soon. Otherwise I'll be missing an other round
