Hello, my name is Roel (pronounce it as 'rule') and I'm sixteen years old.
I'm planning to buy an iMac 27" next month, but I'm in a dilemma.
I want to play some (not too heavy) games, some (not too heavy) video and photo editing. I mean, it's not for professional purposes, but you know, just for some fun.
My doubt is at the difference in price. The iMac i7 costs €180,- more than the i5. €180,- Is no joke at the age of sixteen. I get €4,- per hour, so it's pretty expensive.
But, what if the i7 processor will last longer? Or will it be overkill for me?
And to give you guys an impression of the leap I'm going to make, this is my current laptop (unfortunately, it's a PC)
Processor : Intel Core Duo - T2330
Speed : 1600 MHz
Tablet-pc : false
Intern memory : 3072 MB DDR2
Hard Disk : 250 GB (4200 RPM)
Screen : 15.4 inch WXGA TFT Breedbeeld
Resolutions : 1280 x 800 pixels
Graphics Card : SiS Mirage 3
Video memory : 256 MB Shared
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably my new setup
2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
1TB Serial ATA Drive
8x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM
27" IPS
I don't know, please help me..
