I've got an old system (E6420 C2D, 6Gb RAM, Win 7 HP, 1Tb HDD, big box, custom watercooled etc) and a friend has just offered me his 27" iMac for sale. My worry is that it only has 4 USB ports, one FW800 port, 1 audio in and out and basically isn't easily upgradeable.
I mainly use my PC for digital photography and have a MBP too,so OSX isn't as daunting. The large display, small footprint, i5 CPU and faster GPU all appeal massively. But, I'm worried about:
Running out of USB ports, currently using 6 (Ipod, card reader, mic for Skype, mouse, external backup HDD, keyboard)
Limited upgradability, no USB3 or eSATA
Runing out of HDD space
So, how do you iMac users manage everything, especially the photographers, how do you manage your photography workflow, storage and backups?
Thanks.
