Is Mac really good for photography?

Jul 23, 2011

I am a PC user and I wanted to get myself a serious computer for photo editing. I found several good monitors for a very good price - all matte, which I think is the best for photos.

Than I started thinking about the new iMac 27' and realized it is glossy, relatively poor graphic card and ultra expensive.

What is the big deal and what is the point that I am missing? Thanks for educating me.
