It sucks that they force you to go with a bigger screen just to get decent graphics card. A 27' is way too big for the space i have to work with, but i need at least a 1gb card (more like 2gb) to run DaVinci.
Yes.
If you get the 21.5" you have to shell out extra for the Fusion drive and the 640m is rubbish.
Even if you go for the 27", I wouldn't want to be running that large screen with a 512MB 660m! Apple basically force you to get the high-end 27" with the 1Gig 675mx or you're a sucker.
Penny-pinchers. I am no fan of theirs atm.
Obv you don't hear all the high-end 27" 680mx users complaining. They're the first to argue that the new iMac's are good
That's because the high-end iMac is decent but you have to pay megabucks for it, which is exactly what Apple have planned for.
..and don't give me that crap about the difference between "average consumers" and "professional" users. People deserve a powerful computer for a decent price these days in order to do what they like with... We aren't living in the 90's where the powerful tech wasn't readily and cheaply available!
If I want to render 3D, render long video's, edit many large photo's and create complex music does that make me a "professional" user or just a simple user of today's tech doing what he enjoys/loves to do?
Apple seem stuck in the past and need to get with the times.
