Good Afternoon Every one, well thats what it is on this side of the world. Dubai.
I'm looking to switch from a PC to a Mac this month, and need the advice of all 'been there done that's" around.
I'm a graphic designer, and most my needs were fullfilled by my humbly configured pc, but sooner than later, I am setting up my own online T-shirt store - (similar to threadless) which basically calls for more specs and a hefty system.
Most of my work will involve using Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator extensively, mainly readying designs for submission to print. Tons of designs mind you.
I'm a little stuck up with what specs of a Mac would require. Considering I have little or no knowledge of macs. As of what I know, A lower confirgured mac can do the job of a highly spec'd PC.
Now comes where I need your help.
I'm definately looking to opt for a 27" imac, but what specs, which option, I need your help.
Which one?
Do I need SSD? will having an i7 make that much of a difference as compared to i5? how much do i expand my memory, I'm thinking 16gb perhaps? What processor?
All your feedback is appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Hiten Nainaney
