My family is fully invested in the Mac and iPhone ecosystems for productivity. I recently purchased a 2012 Mac Pro. It was easy to justify as my wife is a photographer and uses the Mac versions of Photoshop and Lightroom. I forgot how awesome it is to have a desktop/server online all the time at home and how much performance I had given up for the convenience of a laptop. The lack of a used market for the 2nd generation (2013+) Mac Pro leaves me frustrated, but it's no surprise given that it was targeted for the designer niche and the rest of the desktop market has largely been subsumed by laptops. I'm really encouraged by the growth of the Hackintosh community and all of the problems they have solved. That will likely be my next computer.
