Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new computer after using my trusty 2010 MBP. It has served me well but as im using it as main computer, it's defiantly starting to show its age with the slow processor and 250GB HDD (I do have external drives which make this easier to manage).
I was going to o the hackint0sh route but as I would be using this machine mostly for work purposes, I would rather spend the extra cash and have something that's nice to look at
My main needs for the computer are:
- Web development (Coding and designing).
- Photoshop (Designing sites and also some photo manipulation).
- Media use (music, videos, very little gaming).
- Dual booting into Linux and maybe Windows for other development.
I like the thought of a large screen and the extra real estate to work with. So I think the 27inch monitor is best, so that narrows it down a bit.
What i'm not sure on however is wether to go for the i5 or i7 processor..
