My 17 hour day can be split into 2 parts:
This is what I do on the computer:
I prize the screen real estate a 27" would give me, especially since I will use it as my "TV." This will be my first iMac. Taking into account the rest of my usage, is this 27" configuration the one for me?:
2.9GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
1TB Fusion Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GT 660M 512MB GDDR5
- 10 hours off the computer
- 7 hours on the computer
This is what I do on the computer:
- Surf the internet, sometimes with over one or two dozen tabs open in Safari
- Watch TV, I do not own a TV and use my PC to watch movies & shows through Hulu, Netflix etc.
- Rip vinyl records, often resorting to iZotope to de-click/pop the waveforms, and XLD to encode all files to Apple Lossless
- Listen to all that music via iTunes
