I've just started my photo degree and my student loan money has come through and i want to buy a Mac but which- I ve used an Imac at college before so I have used a mac before but i need help and advice choosing a Mac which i will have for quite a few years.
After doing lots of research these i believe are important considerations although i am sure there are more.
Notebook- obviously a bonus in the transportation department
20" imacs have a screen flaw so I d need to go for the 24"
The graphics card the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB or the upgrade to the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB?
The large Imac screen brilliant for photo processing but glossy?
Notebook small compact could buy an external display but not as much power?
Please any advice is greatly appreciated- money isnt a huge problem as I simply want to get a great machine that will stand the test of time (although mac pros are out of the price range)
Thanks
