Go Apple Macintosh, I have used them since 1984 successively using more, larger and complex versions, originally to process photos scanned from my 35mm Nikons and then when digital cameras evolved around 2002 I started being able to load images directly from the cameras. The Macs are easy to learn, even if you have PC experience.

Why is it on a clearly Windows specific thread/question, some number of Mac proselytizers feel the compulsion to suggest a Mac and provide all the reasons a Mac is superior solution while ignoring the OP’s stated question and preference?

In what respect? Certainly not in terms of cost, max performance, cost/performance, upgrade ability… Now if you like the OS/presentation manager, the customer support, simplicity of operation, styling or seamless migration, then Macs do all those things very well and may also well be the machine of choice for those with limited computer skills, but don’t kid yourself that they’ve “jumped way ahead of Windows”. Despite the classic UHH “Mac vs PC” discussion, computing (except in high performance computing and for sales/marketing folks) is not a competitive activity. The wide array of computers available to the consumer is a win-win, and if the machine fits your budget, requirements and ability, then whether it’s the “best” platform for anyone else is irrelevant.

The OP asked a question about where to get a WINDOWS machine assembled…

Besides that... It is perfectly possible to build a PC and then install Mac OSX.

This way you get the best of both worlds.

That is what they continuously have done for many years! - probably because deep within they feel a great need to attempt to justify their waste of money in purchasing an Apple product!!!

Curious to know if anyone has used Xotic PC to build a computer specifically for photo editing? How long ago, what operating system, CPU, RAM, etc. Were you happy with the company?

P.S. I see that some comments already are going away from the question being asked. Really would like to hear from anyone who has used Xotic PC specifically. Thanks!


1:) They really lerv your money.
2:) It's a PC. Get a GPU that does what you need.
C:) 1 or 2 year old gamer PCs are a real good deal.

ANY PC will benefit from installing a SSD and sufficient RAM.
MANY programs don't use more than 2 cores anyway (check specs).
