Little backstory: The night before the refresh I ordered a new late 2013 imac with i7, 8gb RAM, 4gb Nvidia, and 3tb Fusion drive. When I checked my order yesterday morning after the refresh (my model was removed from the site) and noticed they "upgraded" my order to a 5k i5, 8gb RAM, 4gb AMD and 3tb fusion. They kept all of my hardware the same except for the i7, downgraded to an i5. All for the same price I paid for the i7 late 2013 model.
I called Apple and they offered me a few different options:
-Keep the order as is (same price)
-Cancel my order and reorder the new 5k with added i7 (which adds $250 more than I spent the night before) but receive that $250 as a credit to use in the Apple Store (minus buying a Watch)
-Cancel my order and order a late 2013 refurb with same specs I ordered the night previous and it would be $230 less than what I originally paid
I do photography as a hobby, but shoot a lot and edit in Lightroom, Photoshop and every now and then make a family video with the gopro for our vacations. I will also use this as a browser, email, youtube, netflix, etc.
Reason I originally looked away from the 5k was that it was $200 more than it is today and the i7/295x heat/fan issues I read about on here.
What should I do? Thanks in advance, I've been racking my brain since yesterday afternoon on what to do. Would have been so much easier if Apple would have upgraded me and kept my specs the same :/
PS: I'm trying not to sound greedy because I really do appreciate them upgrading me to the 5k machine, its the i7 that I really wanted (or so I think)
