Hey There,
So i decided on getting an Imac recently. Was going to get another Macbook but i figured this was the better choice for my needs.
I can't decide between the 21.5 or the 27 inch at this point. The specs for each are below.
Ideally i would like the 27 inch, but at the specs below i am worried it will perform less than the 21.5 because of the big 5k screen it has to power even though it has a better GPU.
I won't be doing anything too crazy, just some 1080 video editing in Final Cut Pro X and maybe some light gaming.
It only comes down to a $200 difference after the student discount, and accounting for that the 27 i can upgrade ram for cheap myself where on the 21.5 it will cost $200 extra.
21.5
4k Retina Screen
I5
Radeon 560 4 Gb
8Gb
256 SSD
27
5k Retina Screen
I5
Radeon 570 4Gb
8Gb
256 SSD
Thanks so much
