I initially just needed a monitor for my photography (24" or something) but it quickly turned into me talking myself into a 27" iMac. Hey, it's only money and you can't take it with you!

The guts are:

3.1GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
4GB (two 2GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1GB

It expands to 16GB so it should last me quite awhile.

I cannot wait to use photoshop

Re: I've joined the dark side!

Congrats!!! been using Macs since the 80's. I had to learn how to use a windows machine in 2005 at work LOL.
We have a MacBookPro, MacBook, and an aging G5 with a 30" screen. Go big or go home!!!

Re: I've joined the dark side!

2010 Macbook pro, 2007 white macbook, and about to buy an ipad 2 soon for work. I personally made the switch 3 years ago, it was sort of life changing because it was just so damn user friendly compared to the dell's and toshiba's I had gotten used to. I love everything about these computers.

If you have any real technical questions, diegoff can probably answer them

I've got a cinema display, but it isn't that big !!

Re: I've joined the dark side!

I've never been a fan of desktop Macs. The main reason being that for the amount of money an iMac/MacPro costs you can build a PC that slaps the shit out of it.
Hope it doesnt come with that magic mouse which is just plain bs IMO. A cornflake box is more ergonomical than it...
This pic also represents another truth about iMacs hehe.

Still i got a Macbook Pro 13" and wouldnt change it for anything. At least until a higher res display for the 13" comes out.

That's amazing. They're great displays.

They're not the most comfortable, you're right. Basically you need to hold it differently... you can't "palm" it like a regular mouse. Once you figure this out it's not that bad.

Re: I've joined the dark side!

Congrats man! Sweet machine..

I don't think i can justify the price on them.. they don't do anything more than a normal PC running Windows or Linux
