[QUOTE="thtguyjosh, post: 1603334, member: 169863"] [b]Thanks Nick![/b] Nick, Thank you so much for your detailed break down and suggestions! Can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Just a quick question however to this point, I must first say that I only have a cursory knowledge of hardware, my training is in software and when i look to buying my computer i naturally want what will make my work as easy as possible. I look at comparisons but the bar charts only tell me so much. unfortunately at this time the 700 dollar upgrade to the 27inch is rather out of budget. But i don't fully grasp how much slower the base model 27inch would be when doing my work. The last thing i want to do is be the person that buys the fully upgraded iMac pays 3k and uses it for microsoft word thinking I'm benefitting from that much power. I am not making the next hobbit movie, i presently work for an events company doing sizzle reels and photography, with a short film here and there. would i really lose out noticeably in performance to buy a lower end 27in? Ultimately I'm trying to find a solution that grants me the larger screen without breaking the bank but not at the cost of significant performance if the one i bought will perform truly better. thank you again!
