hi everyone,
interested in buying a iMac from Apple store for photography purposes
spending range $1200-$1500 and would like to know what is my best option
-plan to buy 2.75ghz processor
-with or without fusion drive
i understand fusion drive is combination of 128gb flash storage with 1 or 3 TB harddrive.
my question is: will this fusion drive be a problem when uploading/transfering/working with numerous photos(ex. more than 128gb) from my camera...?
i want fusion drive for the purpose of working simultaneously with programs/photos, is this a good enough reason to buy it?
i don't ever plan to fill up 1TB quickly however i see myself easily surpassing 128gb, therefore, will fusion drive be full and become slow after SSD is full?
Macbook Pro is option as well, I do not care much for portability because i have old macbook pro that I use as backup however it is not fast enough to run software anymore...
Retina display is also not a huge deal in my opinion, I tend like the big screen and working stationary is not a problem
I haven't done as much research into the notebooks because I have wanted a iMac from the start, my family has recommended new Macbook Pros, Air instead because they seem to have similar capabilities...
Are they right? Or do I have better options?
Thank you for your help !!!
