I've been looking for a jumping off point into getting a Mac (been on a PC forever), and found a system that "looks" like a good deal. I wanted to find out..
I'm basically looking to use the Mac to do web design/dev (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, etc), maybe some occasional simple video editing, and recording music/demos (mostly tracking drums/V-Drums using midi).
I was also looking at some Mac Mini's, but haven't dug too far into research yet...
Here's the iMac system...listed at $550
iMac "Core i3" 3.06 (mid-2010)
Any input / recommendations / information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Van
- if this system was priced well,
- is it worth buying an older system like this
- Would an iMac like this work for my needs (below)?
