[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1151554, member: 56379"] Like I mentioned...you're getting caught up in the details & missing the big picture.:) Remember what you said in the quote above (way back in the beginning of this thread)...you didn't want to "take advantage" of this great Christmas/graduation present from your parents. If the lowest end i3 iMac would be a much better performing computer than your MacBook...then anything with more performance than that would be "taking advantage". Getting a "better" (not "Best") iMac with the "i5"...may be stretching things a bit...but when you start talking even "better" computers than the "i5" is definitely "taking advantage". Believe me...this WILL NOT be your last computer. I'm not sure if you're graduating from high school or college...but after you get a good paying job...and this iMac (your parents are possibly going to purchase for you) gets a few years old (maybe 5 years old)...you will be looking at another computer. Just trying to help (tough love);), - Nick [/QUOTE]
