[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1043967, member: 26315"] I would recommend a imac for people without a spare screen lying around (because imac + cheap screen = price of imac). They are brilliant machines and the best value money computer there is in my opinion. And they are in the price range of $1200-$2000 for standard configurations. And in some benchmark tests the i7 top of the range imac out performed some of the configurations for the current Mac Pro. In my opinion the Mac Pro is meant for big business. And for the rest of us the imac or Mac Mini can do everything you need. So I would really consider this point. So my advice? Take a walk into your local Apple Store/reseller and have a talk to the staff there. And have a play on a Mac to see. For what you want to do the lowest spec 21.5 inch imac will fit your needs perfectly. And that is $1199. And the screen is just bright and vibrant. But that's why I said to hit the Apple Store so you can see the screens in action so you can see if the 21.5 inch is enough or if you want the 27 inch (starting at $1699). [/QUOTE]
