[QUOTE="Sub-Atomic, post: 1413536, member: 239198"] Yes, true. I was debating getting an iPad to go with the iMac (seems to be a popular compromise), but it's just not the same. I've read some stuff online & looked at some benchmarks now - and it seems that the retina display has little effect on graphics performance. Is 1GB of video memory enough? I'm surprised there's no 2GB option or something, but then again - I probably won't need that. How does a Macbook CPU compare to an iMac CPU? It looks to me as if the fact that it's a "M" CPU doesn't seem to make much of a performance difference from looking at benchmarks. And yeah - I'm really struggling with the decision to buy Apple Care... It is expensive, and I do plan on taking very good care of this very expensive machine.. is the one year of coverage enough? Like, if there was a fault in the design or anything, certainly they would cover it anyways... Whatever. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
