Hey guys I am still in the market for a new iMac since i sold my late 2009 imac back in May. i guess i did the right thing by waiting, in-spite of losing the more than generous price of the previous gen model.
I already own a macbook 15" retina its a great machine with only one hitch it makes a slight crackling sound when the fan is winding down after playing a game otherwise the machine is running fine. Anyway back to the point if I decide to get the new Imac now i will be getting nearly everything maxed out: 3.5 i7 processor, 16gb of ram, 3tb fusion, and the Nvidia GTX 780M 4GB.
I have always preferred a desktop over a laptop not only for better performance but also for the screen estate. When multitasking (having more than window open) or using a word processor i feel limited on my laptop screen.
I am anxious to get another imac, however my concern is that next years iMac will get the retina display
as per:
a) The 4k maverick wallpaper leaks
b) The implementation of thunderbolt 2.0
This will make me want to sell a less than year old machine again, for a much clearer screen. Based on my macbook retina my eyes strain less with clearer font to read and the movies look amazing on the display. That said should i continue using the macbook pro or take the plunge and buy now and if need be, sell it to invest in another next year.
