i was shopping in Best Buy the other day and i noticed that they had an open box imac i3 (probably a display) for $1099. is this a good deal? i'll be using it for photo editing and some video.
i'm new to Macs and i thought i could buy it to see if i really like them and maybe invest in an i5 or i7 down the road.
is this a sound plan or should i go ahead and invest in a i5 now?
one last thing...this i3 also has a dark sploch down the right side of monitor. it can only be seen if the desktop is solid purple or blue. is this issue something to consider as well? since it's open box, is this something best buy will get fixed or will i be on my own?
sorry for asking so many questions, but after lurking for while it seems as though you guys really know Macs.
thank in advance for your help.
