2012 base or 2011 top?
Hi guys
I was waiting for iMac since last April, but finally "out" but not much interested as before, but recently when I went through new iMacs specs, pretty disappointed, as base models still have 5400HDD and + non user upgradable RAM. So we don't know how Apple price "additional" 4GB ram. What we know, it's pretty annoying who got little budget(£1100) as myself., that too much for memory and better storage.
I sold my MBP 17 2010. and will be without mac in 2 days
So there is no way to wait till December for 27 (even I have enough cash for it)
But can you share your thoughts, what is best solution? Is that 2011 iMac 27 base model or high end models have better performance than 2012 21 base models? I mean, If i can get one of the 2011 27 (Refubs) for that money.
There are things what Im gonna do.
I know there is no USB3 in 2011
-Need SSD
-Parallels + W7 (Visual Studio and other not big things)
-Auto CAD 2013
- and post power hungry, Video processing (volunteered somewhere, don;t think i am gonna do Hollywood quality processing)
I never done this video process before(Well, did i guess), So don't know how much power I will need
Any ideas will be appreciated
Thanks
