[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1471818, member: 56379"] We do not discuss this topic at Mac-Forums! One of the BEST (and quickest) resources for used Macintosh price information is Mac2Sell.com. I've suggested this 2 TIMES already...and this will be time #3!!! CHECK MAC2SELL.com!!! There are actually two "angles" to this question...so it sort of depends on what you mean by "lifespan". 1. One way is...how long do they "physically" last. Meaning before something in them "dies/breaks". 2. Another way...is what is the average "useful" life before they are too old/obsolete. Have you done any research of your own before asking this question?? I think that if you compared the specs of a Mac Pro and an iMac side by side...you would have a better idea of the differences. It's not that iMac's are so much less computer...it's that Mac Pro's are so much more. And Mac Pro's are Apple's top-end computer. And when you want top-end performance...you pay a top-end price!!! Have you done any research on this computer to know how old it is...and how many "generations" of iMac have been released since this iMac was new?? With just about every release of newer iMac's...Apple incorporates faster graphics hardware. This computer was released in "Mid-2010"...so it's about 2.0-2.5 years old...and Apple has released 3 generations of iMac since this computer. So the graphics in this computer are 4 generations old. I'm not saying that the graphics in this computer "STINK"...but they certainly are not cutting edge. As a graphics professional...I would think that you would want the best graphics hardware that you can afford...so this is an important buying point to consider. If the original 12 month Applecare warranty has expired...then no. LAST TIME. CHECK MAC2SELL.com to get a "ballpark" value for this computer. I could have done this for you LONGGGG AGO...but I like to HELP people out by pointing then into the right direction...NOT do everything for them!!!;) Good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
