Hi, I've been a lurked on here for a while and finally signed up.
I want a mac. I currently have an old athlon xp1600 pc dual booting windows xp and ubuntu that I use as a tinkering and downloading machine.
I also have a 2 year old pc core 2 duo with 4gb of ram running windows 7 64bit. This is my main pc and runs as a media server and also my photo editing pc as I'm a keen amateur photographer.
Both of these are connected to a 20" Dell Monitor.
Ok enough about the pc's. I've been wanting a MacBook pro for some time and have been looking at the top end 15" one with the 3ghz chip and upgrading the he'd to the 128gb ssd. My problem is I just can't get the new 27" iMac out of my head as it's cheaper and of a much higher spec than the MacBook.
I'm not sure my desk could cope with all the kit if I got the iMac. But I could possibly bin my oldest pc. And use the 2year old one as my tinkering and download pc. Then put windows 7 dual booking on the iMac.
But I wouldn't be able to stick it in my bag and take it around with
me which is why I was looking at MacBooks.
Any advice or has anyone one faced similar dilemas?
Apart from my iPhone this will be my 1st mac.
Thanks
Scott
