[QUOTE="blujein, post: 1485722, member: 195578"] 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: [B]Apple iMac (27-inch model)[/B] [LIST] [*][I]3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz[/I] [*][I]16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB[/I] [*][I]3TB Fusion Drive[/I] [*][I]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5[/I] [*][I]Apple Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad[/I] [/LIST] 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! [/QUOTE]
