New computer!
« on: July 08, 2013, 09:02:08 PM »
Time to get a new Mac:




Apple iMac - (27" monitor)

   •   3.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
   •   16GB or 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB
   •   1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
   •   NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1GB GDDR5
   •   Apple Magic Mouse
   •   Apple Wireless Keyboard (British) & User's Guide (English)
   •   Accessory Kit

Should keep me going for a couple of years...
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Looking good.
I will admit there's something about your set up i'm missing, but probably don't need. Strange.  :-X

Do we dare ask how much?

The PC i want is about £700.  Hoping to make it cheaper by buying barebones and using some of my existing stuff.

Well, it is for work and I have to process lots of huge files, so it was never going to be cheap. I'd tried to aim for £1,500, but I'll probably come in just over £2,000 +VAT.

But you can't compare it to a machine for home use, so it's not as expensive as you might think. When I'm just doing normal Internet stuff my tablet is plenty and that's just a tablet, so less than £500.

Also it's such a sexy beast that it will help me with sales, it's easier to deliver the wow factor on one of these lovely things.

Hmm. I decided today that I need a new Mac. Now I WANT one as well.

I move around a bit to work and the iMac is my first choice, would a macbook be better, so I can work anywhere? Need to run Adobe suite (all at same time!).

Suggestions, anyone?
