I am an enthusiastic Apple-fan and my house is full of Macs. Nevertheless, in the field of high performance computing, even worse when you have to take a look on the economics, Apple isn't worth a single thought any more, which is really sad. If they do not bring up a sensational new machine at the coming WWDC (10.-14.6.2013) conference, better buy a stupid Windows i7 machine with 2 AMD 7970 GPU's and at least 64 GB RAM for a fraction of Apple's prices. As long as you only use it for PS, the always frustrating hazzle with Windows shouldn't be too bad (even though I'm usually getting in rage only thinking of Microsoft ;-))).
