My employer has very kindly offered to replace my current computer system (a good, custom-built PC) with a new Apple iMac (27-inch model).
My day-to-day work includes a lot of graphic design with applications such as Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, Adobe Illustrator CS6, Adobe InDesign CS6, and Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended (at a minimum) all operating at once. It also includes a lot of very complex spreadsheet/workbook editing. With these requirements in mind, I'm hoping to get some advice as to whether the following specifications would be suitable:
Apple iMac (27-inch model)
I'm also curious as to whether anyone believes that the upgrade from the 3TB Fusion Drive to the 768GB Flash Storage for an extra $1,080 is worth it.
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!
