If you're comparing laptops, all laptop screens suck for photo editing, anyways (6-bit TN, terrible backlights, terrible colour gamut). You really need to get a good external monitor, anyways, in which case you may as well go w/ Windows 7 as you can get more power for a lot less unless you need the battery life, in which case the Macbook Pros are quite competitive.

iMac screens are nowhere near calibrated from the factory.
Macbook Pro screens (especially the matte screen option) are more than adequate for photo editing. Of course, an external monitor like an Eizo or NEC is much, much better, but most non-commercial clients won't know the difference between sRGB, Adobe 1998 & CMYK prints anyways.
