Hi,
I need a bit of advice for what to buy on my modest budget.
A bit of background on what I need…….I need to use it for photo editing using the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom and a couple of plugins such is Nik Silver EFEX Pro (working with RAW files).
I will also use it for the usual browsing and downloading etc but not for gaming.
I am coming from a PC which has just died but I have used Macs previously.
Now my budget………I was looking at possibly buying either the Dual Core Mac Mini or paying the extra and getting the Quad Core version and maxing out the RAM at a later date.
I will be looking at getting an AOC IPS 23’’ monitor and adding an Apple mouse and keyboard.
My budget is going to be around £700.
Can anyone confirm if I would be better off getting maybe a used iMac or a used Mac Mini and maxing that out? If so which versions/year would you suggest?
Many thanks,
Al
