[QUOTE="RCh, post: 368774, member: 29743"] Thanks everyone for input! I think I'd go for an iMac and change the keyboard & mouse to wireless in order to get rid of cords. Now I'm hesitating between 1 and 2 Gb of RAM. It's not much of a cost issue, since some extra $150 is irrelevant in the overall cost of the system. However, to my surprise none of the authorised Apple dealers in my country (I live in Ukraine) were able to upgrade the memory on spot. Instead, they claim I have to place a custom order so the built-to-order machine will arrive directly from Apple. I wonder, if this is really the policy of Apple or specifics of our local market? The thing is, that I can get a stock iMac right from the store, and for the customized version I have to wait up to 1 month (which usually turns into 2 or more). So I incline towards the stock machine which I can upgrade later on with hi-quality RAM by myself, although it might be a bit more expensive, since I assume I'd have to change both RAM boards. Anyway, thanks again for your opinions and I'm afraid I'll come back soon with plenty of questions :) [/QUOTE]
