- 20" Imac 2.0 GHz Core Duo, 256 Vid Card, 1 gig ram, 40 gig ipod, 4 gig nano, 512mb shuffle
I am going to be buying a mac. I was originally going to buy the mac mini but when I was playing with one I realized it really wasn't powerful enough for me. I am looking to do a lot of music editing and photo editing, and later in the future some video editing. Nothing professional mainly personal.
I have been looking into the 2.0 GHz Duel Core Macbook with 1 gig of ram or the 17" Imac with 1 gig of ram. I am really stuck as to which one to get. I don’t thing the 1.87GHz processor will be that much slower than the 2GHz, am I wrong?
One thing I am worried about is how big of an issue the integrated video card in the macbook will be when I am doing photo and video editing. The Imac has a dedicated 128mb Video card.
The price of the two setups I have chosen on the apple store are with $20 of each other. So the cost is not a concern between the two. Mobility is not a main concern either.
I am looking for some opinions any help is much appreciated.
