Hi gang,
I'm helping a friend with an iMac purchase and I thought I'd crowd source a response! :)
He and his wife want a larger display after being long time 15" MacBook users. They have pretty basic needs: web browsing, word processing... and DSLR photo editing. They're looking at a 21.5" iMac because of the entry price and have already decided that the new low end model probably won't fill the bill. This is where the decision gets more difficult... I've advised them that the remaining 21.5" iMacs are due to be upgraded soon so they're hanging tight waiting to see if and when they will be refreshed. But they're also deliberating about whether the basic model with built in Intel graphics will fill the bill or whether they should opt for the one with the NVIDIA graphics. I'm thinking that they'd be wise to up the RAM to 16 because they won't have that option later with the 21.5" iMac, but I'm really unsure whether the NVIDIA graphics will make any difference to them... And if they're springing for that model then we're getting to the point where buying a refurb 27" model may start to make sense because those would have NVIDIA graphics already and allow home upgrade of the RAM. What would you advise? Thanks in advance! :D
