[QUOTE="bigsnowdog, post: 1083982, member: 136433"] Looking at the iMac, I consider the two 27 in. machines. My question: Is there really a big difference between the two processors? ....also the i5 versus the i7? My application is publication design, including Adobe programs like InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and possible Framemaker. It may also want to be able to use CAD. I see they have different graphics cards, too. Is there much difference in the cards and their performance? As I consider desktop units, the Mac Pro has a lot of appeal for me, as that is the sort of things I have always had. I hear the praise of the iMac, but worry a bit about it's serviceability. Any useful thoughts for me here? [/QUOTE]
