Hi Guys,
I am looking for a new computer but I am aware that the notebooks are likely to be updated within the next few weeks. Has anyone heard anything about the iMac's?
Basically, I am currently a windows user and I am looking to switch fully over the next 4 months (starting with either a laptop or a desktop, then buying the other of the 2 in January/Feb), however, if I decide to wait for a new Macbook/pro, I will need to purchase an interim laptop (probably a windows based) which is no biggy because I can then use this for testing purposes to make sure my websites work ok in Windows, however, this 'dis'advantage will set me back about £300.
As far as a desktop system goes, I was originally going to leave that purchase until January and buy a Mac Pro (as I already have a brand new 23" ACD, and plan on buying a 2nd one), but I am now wondering if I would be better off getting a 24" iMac instead, which would save me around £1000 (including saving the cost of the extra screen).
What do you guys think?
And before I get all the 'if you need it now, buy it...' part of what I'm asking is whether or not it is worth spending £300 on a temporary laptop which waiting for the new ones to come out
p.s. I will be using my Mac/s for graphic design, web design, some video editing (pretty basic), and sound recording.
