[QUOTE="justasking, post: 1628703, member: 339995"] Hi guys, Im new here. I decided to signup since whenever I google apple or mac, this popular forum always on the search result. Im thinking about switching my laptop/pc to apple products. I am a Windows guy and I can say im pretty advance user when it comes to Windows. Im looking to buy apple products (laptop and/or iMac) cos I find it really cool to have :D and also my HP laptop is kinda dying now. I want your advice/suggestions/feedback on the products im thinking of buying. I want to get a MacBook Air with this specs: 1.4GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 128GB PCIe-based Flash Storage $1,099.00 + tax and an iMac: 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB 1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm Intel Iris Pro Graphics $1,599.00 + tax I really want a laptop for when im on the go, and a desktop for heavy applications. I chose MacBook Air against Pro because its cheaper and I’ll be only using the laptop when im travelling. Both have custom specs, 8gb memory for the Air and 16gb memory for the iMac. I chose the 2.7GHz against the 1.4GHz so that I can customized the memory to 16gb. As of now, I am really decided to buy these machines unless really good suggestions and advice from you guys make me think otherwise. 1. Numbers of retail stores (bestbuy, etc) put “not customized” machines on sale. Are there any stores, websites, or any way I can buy these “customized” products cheaper compared to Apple store? Of course I want brand new ones. 2. When will the new models come out? If they are coming out soon, I would rather wait for it. 3. Basically, I really want to get the deal out there with the specs im aiming for. 4. As for my usage, I play a bit of online games which requires installation on the machine, office documents stuff, downloading/watching/streaming videos, I really want to be able to run Windows too (like bootcamp, etc.) 5. Please let me know things to keep in mind for a new potential Mac user like me which is switching from Windows. (no more optical drive for new Macs I heard) Thank you guys! Keen [/QUOTE]
