hello all
My old 2004 iMac has finally died.....what good value. I plan to use my new iMac for the same as my old one...
for games like stronghold 2 (running in parallels)
modded minecraft forge,
hidden object games - all highly graphic games.
I also run dogwaffle in parallels which is a drawing/painting program with animation.
I don't mind getting a different virtual PC program; there is a lot more around now, as long as New iMac likes it.
Other than that I use it for online strategy games like stronghold Kingdoms and mundane stuff like mail and iWork and lots of music. Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted. There are so many advancements I have no idea.....
I don't want to spent more than about $6-800 AUD. I don't mind which screen size it is.
 
Lisa. You gave us a lot of info on your usage, but most of it we can't relate. Thus no reply's.

From what I can gather, a late 2012 Referb mini or mac could serve you well. Good luck. a2
