- Your Mac's Specs
- MacBook Pro 2.2 i7 + MacBook 2.2 Duo 2 (late 2007) + ATV2 + T/C-2Tb + iPhone4 + iPad2 (64gb wifi)
I intend to purchase an iMac within the next few months, definitely before the end of the year.
currently i am considering the following:
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
1TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
In addition to the normal things Macs are used for, i want to burn DVDs and in particular Blue Ray (i appreciate this needs more hardware) photo editing, playing high res games, surfing multiple sites etc, etc.
I have up spec'ed from the standard iMac to allow for future proofing. i do not intend to buy another one for a few years to come
Questions: is future proofing and good idea and is the up spec value for money give the perceived use of the computer
Thanks in advance
