Had a stock 2009 15" MacBook Pro and running Photoshop CS5 became a chore and often plugins would crash it.
Just got the new 27" iMac, stock $1699 model. Runs Photoshop SO much faster. Made a little video: iMac output to my 46" Vizio tv via Thunderbolt MiniDisplayPort-HDMI adapter. While running Photoshop CS5, ran Topaz Adjust and Alien Skin Exposure...plugins and movie trailer ran smooth, no hiccups, def couldn't do this with my 2009 15" Macbook Pro 😉
