After many happy years with Windows I'm thinking of replacing my downstairs day to day laptop with a 24" M1 iMac proving it'll sit happily with my current hard and software. All my office requirements including databases are handled by LibreOffice. All files including photo's are stored on a Synology two bay NAS with photography being via an Adobe CC subscription, 99% using Lightroom. Although the iMac will handle the majority of my day to day work I will continue to do my main photo editing on my upstairs Windows PC with it's big screen, and speakers neither of which would fit on my downstairs desk.
Although having iPads and iphone's for some years so far my only experience of using Apple as a PC was 15 years ago when my wife bought a nearly new iMac from a friend which after a fairly frustrating year destroyed its logic board, a known fault we discovered. This was replaced by a new Windows laptop for slightly less than a new logic board. After Windows I found the iMac slightly restrictive but maybe it's time to have a better go providing it'll work happily with my current set up.
Any advice either for or against would be gratefully received.
