Hello. Im a newby when it comes to macs. I just recently found out about macs (I know, I was living in a windows-cave) and fell in love with them and thus want one. The only problem is, I bought a new windows-machine a few months agoo. Now I'm in dubio and that is where I need you guys to help me.
I want to do some serious photo- and video-editing and I want to build websites, dont play games and further just the usual stuff (listen to music, surfing etc). With my new windows-machine I bought a LG Flatron E2241 along with it (21 of 22 inch). So now I'm thinking about buying an imac and just sell my complete windows-setup or buying a MBA and keep the screen.
The Imac is a beautiful machine with many features (mouse, camera, keyboard, wifi, bluetooth etc.) but I dont have the money to buy an SSD harddisk.
The MBA uses a flash HD which is faster and is important for video-editing I think and I have an external hard drive for storage of large files. I don't really need the portability so thats not an issue.
1. Is the screen of an imac far better than the LG screen I have? There is no apple store where I live (Holland) so I cant check it out for myself.
2. Makes the flash HD of the MBA it much faster than an Imac without SSD?
3. My budget is somewhere between 1400 - 1600 euro's (I think thats about 1800 dollar).
So what do you recon is the best setup for me? Btw, I have no problem waiting a bit longer for the new Imac.
Thanks in advance!
