Hey all
I am thinking seriously about a Mac. I do a lot of graphic art and video editing and have always heard of the Macs prowess in this area. After the latest Windows nightmare in which I lost nearly everything, I'm fed up.
Forgive me if this is a little lengthy but I do have some questions and any replies would be greatly appreciated.
I was about to buy a 27" imac with the quad core until I began to do some research. This is a lot of money. I read here that the yellow screen issue has been resolved. I suppose that what I am looking for is some reassurance there, but what I am concerned about is heat. These things get really hot in that confined space just sitting idle, I can only image what it does when you load it hard. Heat is the enemy of printed boards, doesn't matter who makes it. So my concern is longevity (Remember X-box?). Are there issues with this?
I am up in the air right now as to whether I will get the iMac or Mac Pro. The iMac would suffice for now, but is not upgradeable except for memory. The Pro is great for this but very expensive. So, to save a little dough (as I want a large display), I was thinking of a 32" LCD TV. Would this be advisable or should I just bite the bullet and pay the $1.8K for the monitor if I go with the Pro?
Thanks
