Hi everyone,
I am a student majoring in Physics and Astronomy. Heading to my master study in the coming academic year, I am planning to have a proper computer setup for my study. I usually work parallel with multiple programs. These are the programs that I often use:
1. Safari Web browsing
2. LaTex text editing
3. microsoft word and excel
4. DS9 image processing with multiple big images (over 5000pixels x 5000pixels)
5. Python, Fortran and IDL programming
6. ssh remote control to other computers
7. light and occasional movie editing
Since I am going to work heavily on images, a good screen would be preferred. I have a dell u2414h monitor at home and it is crucial for me to work with it in dual monitor.
I am open to both iMac and MacBooks suggestions since portability is not my primary concern (I have another old notebook which is old and heavy but still can function). I have ~$3000 budget on it but it would be great if I can save as much as possible!
What would be my best choice?
Thanks for reading and advices in advance!
