iMac

[Mr-Trainor]

I got my first mac, which is an iMac, just under a month ago, and love it. Much better than the PC/laptop I had before, and I can still use Windows when I need to which is a huge bonus. I'd definitely recommend one, but the obvious potential problem is the price .

Ello - So are they worth it? Contemplating getting one but not sure.

£1500 is a lot of money to pay out for one imo and I was wondering is there anything else people would recommend for the same sort of spec / price or even less?

I have a 21.5 inch iMac. Never had any problems since I bought it. I payed £1000 for it plus Microsoft word etc...
If you have any questions, deffo go to your nearest Apple Store and talk to them. They are so helpful and one of the best customer supports in my opinion!

I disagree. I also do all kinds of digital art and the reason why Macs are best for photo and digital editing is because Macs have a higher resolution display, a better graphics card, and a better processor. Also, having the right printer can influence the outcome to my photos and designs.

When I took digital art and photo classes, we used Macs for our projects. There wasn't a single PC in the room. That's why I feel that doing digital art and photos on a Mac makes the projects look better.

Just my opinion.

Hahahaha. Are you kidding me? Better graphics card and processor? ********. Better screen, yes, however i'm sure you can buy monitors which match. But you can build a much better PC for half the price, so don't go telling me the specifications are better. Quit while you're ahead.

Better than the £1500 imac for £400 cheaper, sure the screen is fat but obviously you've got £400 spare to get a thinner one

Get a Mac Mini and a screen, save yourself a few hundred £££, its what I did.

Cba to write a long post, @Luke; summed up my opinions pretty much.

The only Macs worth buying are the MacBooks.

My mums just ordered one, think she upgraded it to 3TB... well worth it by all accounts, shes quite good with computers
