[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 933172, member: 96273"] If I were you, I'd get the 24 inch iMac. You don't need to shell out 69 bucks to get the magic mouse, though if it intrigues you, by all means. I'm pretty pumped about them. You could just get a wired logic laser mouse though for like 30 bucks. :) As far as glossy vs nonglossy screens, glossy shows better colours and looks much nicer in regular room lighting. If you've got a lot of windows in your office, I'd put the Mac somewhere where the light won't be glaring off the screen (I'd do this with a matte screen too, I hate all glare). It really comes down to personal preference, but I think even the 24 inch iMac will have a glossy screen. Just keep low lighting, and if you have a high lighting situation, just make sure that the lamp isn't like... aimed at your iMac. I'm sure you'll enjoy your purchase whatever you buy. :) They're sweet little machines. I wanted to get one even before they added the quad core processor option. Also, refurbished is the way to go. It saves you a lot of money and you still get a brand new machine. I'm on my refurbished aluminum macbook right now. :) [/QUOTE]
