Hello everyone, I been really torn lately on what Mac computers to get. I'm looking to get a desktop and a notebook. I'm planning to use both computers for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Lightroom. Still undecided if I will do some Autodesk Maya for 3D graphics. As far as gaming goes, I might do some Diablo 3 on the desktop. Here is what I'm looking at:
Desktop:
27' base iMac with the fusion drive
2.6 quad-core Mac Mini with fusion drive with possible ATD
What I like about the iMac is the dedicated graphics card, I'm not sure how important that is when it come to PS and Illustrator Also the less reflection on the monitor sounds nice.
On the Mac Mini I want to get a good monitor so I been looking at the ATD which I might hold off for a while since I'm hoping there is going to be an update soon. Also when it comes time to upgrade Mini might be cheaper on the long run since I won't have the need to get another monitor.
As far as the notebook line goes I need it to run some Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom as well. I'm looking for some portability too:
13 in Macbook Air 8gb RAM, 256gb storage
13 base rMBP
13 base non retina 2.9 i7 MBP
I want the notebook to take to college and when traveling so I can store some photos as I shoot in RAW.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
