[QUOTE="Lemon Stinky, post: 761801, member: 75379"] Hmm, you confirmed my fears about the non-intel cores. Thanks for the advice. I don't think I want to spend that much or wait that long for the Mac Pro. An iMac is looking quite attractive now I've had a better look at the new ones. I also mean that literally, I think the silver/black is a much sexier colour scheme than the older white ones, which were actually the ones I was using at college most of the time. Nice big screen and as you say plenty of power. I missed it off my initial list but I will require it to run video editing software as well although I'm sure it'll have no problem doing so. For the past 10 minutes I've been drooling over the 24 inch 2.8ghz iMac model. I can stretch to that if it means having the intel core, a good 24" display and all in one sleek package. Looking on MacRumors it says 'buy only if you need it, approaching end of cycle' about the iMac. Looking at the latest rumour it seems to hint at an update maybe as early as Jan '09. In which case it might be worth waiting for the price drop. Similar sort of thing with the Mac Pro, it's just a case of when exactly and how much of a drop in price we can expect. Tbh, if I brought a shiny new iMac home I wouldn't be too bothered about a price drop in a couple of months time, unless it was huuuuuuge. Ohh, one last thing. Are these sealed units? would I be able to upgrade RAM (or anything else for that matter) at a later date? [/QUOTE]
