Thinking about getting the 2011 iMac 21 inch refurbished. It's 4GB ram, 500GB HDD - just the very basic model for $999. I'm trying to find the mac with the best combination of value and longevity; I'd really like to get the most use out of a new computer as I can.
Should I go for the refurbished iMac, get a brand new 2011 iMac for 200 more (not including $50 off with student pricing), or wait for the 2012 version to come out? Or would some sort of MB be a better bet for long term value? The MBAs refurbished are pretty cheap, but don't know how I feel about them.
Thanks!!
