I use or have control over a dozen or so iMacs and the same number of Mac Pros, a MBP and my Mackbook. All of them work extremely well with PS from CS2 - CS4. No Mac display really does print critical color well when compared to the wide gamut internally calibrated LCD. The 24" ones start at $1500 and go up to around $5000 for the affordable best at 30" Many many people still do lots of critical color work on their MBPs and iMacs by just purchasing an additional screen fit to the task. All those screened Macs are well endowed for externals including a second monitor which will also give you the real estate you need for PS, LR, Aperture, Dreamweaver, etc. I even use my Macbook (with the video onboard) with a 24W LCD whenever I use it at home. No PC of any type is sold with a monitor that is any better for critical color, so you'd have to get the same wide gamut display for the same kind of work. If only fot the OS, MAcs are far superior. Perhaps when al Windos OSs are 64bit, there may be one that competes, but Vista 64 was a nightmare.
