I like to believe that I’m 95% decided to buy an iMac. The remaining final question is: which one?
Out of the relatively big choice one currently has (new version released a couple of weeks ago, old version still available) I narrowed it down to these:
- Old version of iMac 27″: i3 3.06GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard disk, ATI 4670 256MB: 1439.00 EUR
- Old version of iMac 21.5″: i3 3.06GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard disk, ATI 4670 256MB: 1295.00 EUR
- New version of iMac 21.5″: i3 3.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB hard dis, ATI 5670 512MB: 1429.00 EUR
After all the difference between the old and recently released new version of the iMac is not really significant. At least if you’re not going for one of the high end versions with i5 / i7 quad core processors and high end ATI graphics. Since I’m not playing on the Mac, I’m not doing any video editing, etc, I probably can narrow the choice further down by eliminating #3 in the list: new version of 21.5″ iMac.
So old version with 27″ or 21.5″. Is the ATI 4670 powerful enough for the huge screen with its enormous resolution? I guess tomorrow I’ll decide : – )
