[QUOTE="PixelMage, post: 1178941, member: 65199"] I am thinking about getting the iMac 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. With the following specs: - 8/16GB memory - 256GB SSD and 2TB ATA combo - 27in screen I keep reading pros and cons on the i7 over the i5. Some say the hyper-threading is not well managed by Mac OS X. Other threads say the i5 is just as good as the i7. Barefeats had a decent review on this model but someone said that the performance is designed to show off the chip and may not correspond to real world experiences. I would like to do some video and image editing and supposedly the i7 would be ideal for it. I would like to keep the machine for at least 3 years. I would like to get people's thoughts on this, especially those that actually own the latest version of the iMac i7. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
