Hi,
I want to upgrade my 2.5 year old iMac with a new Mac.
The only problem is I didn't have any real good experience with the iMac so far.
After 6 months of having it my Power Supply died and I had to go to the Apple Store.
6 months later the LCD Panel started having persistent images all over the screen and I had to take it again to the Apple Store where they replaced the faulty panel and returned the computer to me after 1.5 weeks.
Of course now 1 year later I don't have warranty and the persistent images returned big time and also the iMac overheats sometimes (gets to 55 degrees easily).
The question is if I should upgrade to a new 27" iMac or should I just get a Mac Pro for twice the price? (the iMac always seems like a sure bargain next to it). Do the iMacs still have those problems?
Also it's funny that the iMacs get pretty old after 2 years because they lack the option of upgrading except for RAM.
I don't do irregular things on my Mac, mainly Web developing & designing, Adobe CS5, recording music through Logic Studio 9 and Gaming.
What do you guys think? I will really appreciate your comments =]
Thanks!
