Ok, so I have been a PC user for 18 years. I have come to the realization I want a switch to Apple. I am an avid photographer, and time and time again my co-photographers have pushed Apple, and all my research says it's better. My issue is price. I am looking at a 3K investment into a 15" Macbook pro. 3K for a notebook computer is almost insurmountable, but I keep getting drawn into it. What made you decide to switch, or how do you cope with the price. It's not like you get a ton of software included, it's just hardware, style and brand. Am I missing something here?
