I rely a great deal on photoshop. I am thinking over moving over to MAC myself and would have to get used to the difference in shortcuts etc. Are there any other major differences?

Many of the shortcuts are the same, but different. On a Mac, you generally use the Command key rather than the control key.
CMD-C = Copy
CMD-V = Paste
CMD-X = Cut
Apply the same theory to many of the commonly-used PS shortcuts, as well. It'll take a little time to get used to it, but you will. I didn't have that much trouble, nor have most others I've known.

Dave, I was configuring a Dell for my gf (who wants Windoze), thinking it was much cheaper. The equivalent Inspiron 15 wasn't $1k less. More like $5-600 and you get less resolution on the monitor(1440x960 vs 1368x768) and less RAM expansion (8 vs 4GB). I could list the equivalents but I don't think the difference is as big as you say. Now add the sleek alu body (I dislike the plastic stuff) and OS X, I think it's worthwhile but that's very subjective. I ended up giving her my MacBook Pro to run Windoze 7 64bit in Bootcamp and bought another one (not the unibody with mini-DVI, fixed battery and NO express new ones which feel like a retrograde!).
Drew,
You have just about convinced me. Please send me $500 (since I am going to spend at least that much more than I had planned on) ;-)
Dave
