Hi guys, I don't post here often, I was going to go to Apple about this, but figured you're all perfect for this question.
So, I am buying my parents a new iMac, their mid-2007 model is becoming annoying.
After lots of comparisons, here is where I have landed:
A: refurbished high-end 21.5" model: (including tax + a $130 gift card) $1,257
B: new base 21.5" model, WITH FUSION DRIVE: (including tax + a $130 gift card) $1,480
Disregarding that $200 difference, I suppose my main question is this: what, in both the short-term, and in terms of lifespan of the product, will be the bigger benefit, the increased CPU and GPU of the high-end model, or the Fusion drive paired with the baseline iMac?
Thank you so much!
