Hi all
first of all
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!!

I've tracked some good threads and found wonderful info in this website both for my laptops - I bought twice following the reviews read here - and my tablet.
now is time for a desktop request because I badly need one


the real point is the fact I am very undecided about what to choose as OS - will it be a MAC as I had for 5 years - or shall I try Windows 8 - as I am quite interested in the photo-retouch possibilities of a touch-screen- ?

please find below the answered questions alongside my sincere thoughts about my next best friend!
