[QUOTE="Shennaniah, post: 1151537, member: 181669"] Pigoo3 you are absolutely right! Yeah, I'm getting caught up in the details and I [I]know[/I] it, but I still can't help but worry over the nitty gritty. At this rate I'm really not gonna get an imac, lol. I'm trying to imagine things from a future perpective... Let's say 3 or 4 years down the road when they've relesased i9, i11, i13, and probably even moved on from the i series altogether. And everything is a minimum of Quad cores. Do I want to be sitting there thinking "Man, now I'm REALLY far behind with my i5 dual", or "Well, I got the best I could at the time, and with my i7 Quad, at least I'm *fewer* steps behind". Of course, I know the tech world is constantly upgrading and no one (but fanboys) is gonna be ahead of the game for long. But you get my gist yeah? I believe it when you say that all the iMacs can kick my MBBlack's butt, but then I start wondering- how hard can each of them kick? (Weird analogy there, but okay.) As in, the i7 Quad imac would blow my macbook completely outta the water, whereas the core2duo may only punt it a couple of yards. Alright, how about I just ask it this way: if I get the i5 or i5 Quad, then 3 to 5 years from now, might I be looking back at today regretting that I didn't get the best I could? Thanks for tolerating all my indecisiveness! You fellas are awesome. I'll make a decision soon, promise! [/QUOTE]
