So, I've been designing and cutting from my Dell XPS for a while now.. it's having some bad BSOD issues, constantly just shutting off for no reason when I open "Computer" or Documents, or any explorer Window.. blah.
So.. I bit the bullet and bought a 27" iMac..
Configuration Specs:
I got an Epson printer with it with AirShare so I can print to it with my iPad and iPhone. I've spent like $5k this year in just Apple products.
- 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
- 8GB 1333Mz DDR3 SDRAM - 2 x 4GB
- 1TB Serial ATA Drive
- AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
- Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad
- Apple Wireless Keyboard
It's "Processing" right now, wish it'd ship soon.. I got overnight shipping.. anyways, hope it works good!

Very nice! My dad got one almost exactly the same spec a few months ago and the 27" screen is freakin' beautiful.... although he did stick Windows 7 on it within the first week he had it
I've played with the TrackPad though and, to me, it seems pretty pointless.:8

I'm going to throw a copy of Parallels on there and then a copy of this
So many perks when you're a mentor to the Air Force Cyber Patriots.

Similar in specs to my 27" iMac. They're lovely machines, I have Lion and Windows 7 running at same time with Vmware - the screen is pure heaven
Let us know if the trackpad is of any use to you, I am curious to see if anyone with a trackpad as well as the Magic Mouse thinks having both is worth while.
All that for a Windows computer? It sounds to me like your dad wasted his money Originally Posted by Recursion

What processor and RAM do you have?

Exact same ram configuration and speed, and mines a quad core i5 in lieu of a i7. Originally Posted by Dentafrice

How smoothly does it run? I estimate running Photoshop and Illustrator at the same time, handle it?

iMacs are brilliant if you want a powerful all-in-one daily use machine, as I say, the screen is absolutely gorgeous. Originally Posted by HotelUser
