Long time die hard PC user here running W7 desktops and a laptop. The laptop is a bit weak powered for my needs (Intel i5 1.4 with 4GB RAM) and im going to be doing more location based tethered shoots next year I think so thats my main upgrade need at the moment.
My desktop (a bit old but fairly powerful) is where I run most of my work from though but Windows 8 upgrade just seems a bit pants to me - willing to try OS X. Data is stored on a RAID NAS, another single NAS and external drive mostly and wanted to see if I buy a Macbook Pro will there be any problems switching data access between PC desktop and the Macbook Pro? For instance, copying over lightroom catalogues that are worked on the PC then onto the Mac? My other option is to run just a macbook to replace everything, and hook up the macbook to my current monitor (or get a thunderbolt display eventually) when at home.
Any advice from anyone sort of in between or happily using both systems, some advice would be great!
