If you are more familiar (addict) on PC's and need a Power House machine (rendering & else) check : BOXX
(Trevor) Do they use the same modular construction as Windows boxes that you can mix and match and build the best box for you Just my take though-others will undoubtedly differ Its not for nothing that Apple Inc is so profitable. In addition if you want to upgrade the hardware in a few years you can, whereas with a Mac you need to buy a new computer. It will run Photoshop brilliantly -you'll save money and Windows these days is a pretty impressive operating system. If your budget extends to a good games machine from a well reviewed system builder go for a PC. I like Apple hardware because it looks nice, but if you take it apart its no better than good PC hardware. What is more worrying is their next OS El Capitan is in beta and older Adobe products don't run at all because of a Java revamp making CS6 at least for now broken. There are people still having to cripple their graphics subsystem to run Photoshop after 6 months which is pretty poor I would say. Some are due to Adobe releasing 2015 with bugs, but more seem to be associated with the Yosemite OS itself. At the moment there are many problems associated with Photoshop CC2015 on the Mac.
