[QUOTE="saltcityslasher, post: 1090124, member: 167123"] I want to buy an iMac, and the two best deals are either the cheap 1200$ one or the 2000$ one. I am a college student that wants a multi-tasking machine that is for music production and for CS5! I should have enough for either of them but if I get the cheaper one that leaves me with money to get other things. Maxed out the cheaper one is 1329$ with 8gbs and the rest stock. The other one I would only upgrade the Processor cause I won't be able to upgrade it later, so it would be $2,079. Thats a 750$ upgrade, and thats double the HD space, a HD 5750, i7 QUAD-CORE and not to mention a 27" screen! I am confident in Mac Computers, even though all I hear is people telling me to just build my own computer, because for 2000$ I could be a six core yada yada yada. But I did the math, and if you add a 27" screen, case, i7, and all the others, it's pretty much the same price, the only thing is the mac would have slower memory ar 1333 instead being able to get 1600-2000. So what you think? [/QUOTE]
