Hi Guys,
So I am looking at purchasing my daughter a new iMac, and I don't have a massive budget, so I want to ensure what I get will actually do the job.
SO.... This is what she wants to do. Mainly school work etc etc. She watches movies, and does some minor video stuff for online etc. Nothing crazy. BUT... what she wants to do is some gaming. Again, not hardcore, but she wants to run Windows (argh) to be able to play some online stuff like PUBG and the like. I am loathed to buy her a dedicated Widows box, so iMac it is.
The one that I am looking at that is within my budget is the 3.0GHz quad-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.5Hz) Here are the stats...
3.0GHz quad-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
8GB of 2400MHz memory, configurable to 16GB
1TB hard drive1
Radeon Pro 555 with 2GB of video memory
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports
4096-by-2304 P3 Retina 4K display
So, any advice here? Just need to to know that my 2 grand will actually do what she wants - to a degree.
Cheers
