Hi all!
This seems to be THE forum for anything related to Apple
I just got the 27" iMac.. with 3.2GHZ i5, 8GB RAM, 1 TB, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX graphics processor, magic mouse & wireless keyboard.
It is actually a gift from wife, so it's standard config with no modifications
I would not be using the mac for gaming.. i am a photographer, so only editing work.
Having used the PC for over 15 years, this seems very luxurious to say the least!
A couple of noob questions-
a) regarding accessories - any must have & recommended?
b) the mac came pre-loaded with OS X Lion.. Isn't Mountain Lion the latest version & shouldn't this have been preloaded?
Is it recommended to buy the upgrade? I am not a big fan of Facebook or cloud services (as that's what i have gathered over the past few hours as being the advantage of Mountain Lion)
c) any basic advice for Mac first timers? Like maintenance, safety etc?
Any links, advice that would help iMac noobs is most appreciated!
Thanks!
