[QUOTE="macstarter, post: 1318896, member: 168099"] I've had my new MBP now for enough time to know that it is an improvement over the PC's that I've used in the past. I am ready to get a desk top to replace my old PC. My problem is that I am not familiar with the terminology for the macs. I her a lot about iMacs, g5's etc.etc....It seems that the iMac is the way to go..is this correct? I will be able to spend about $1200 on a desk top. I've looked at some of the refurbished units at the apple store and can afford a iMac that is relatively new. Is this a good way to go? Are there any problems with a specific run or configuration of the iMacs? There is now a 21.5" quad core intel core I5 in the store. Quad core? I5? Is this a good thing? Any help for this confused new guy would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
