So I've been wanting to upgrade my mid 2010 imac to something new and spiffy for a while now. I'm a starving artist, but my main uses for the imac are photoshop/blender/sketchup/zbrush. Right now I can still get by on my ancient 27incher as it is, but the screen is going and it's starting to break down.
I've been saving for a long time and tried putting together a pc, but couldn't find a monitor I was happy with that didn't cause severe eye strain and so realized I have to stay with the Almighty Apple. My budget is just under $3000. I was hoping that with Apple's conference recently they would announce a shiny new 27inch model, but that didn't happen. So I'm left with a predicament. Is it worth buying a 2020 iMac now? (I like the idea of being able to use bootcamp for any windows based applications I use, especially for the odd gaming session) or should I consider picking up a 24inch iMac?
I really wanted to combo the 27" studio display with something, but to deck out the mini with reasonable ram and storage+the studio display is more than I want to spend on this thing. I might be able to scrounge something more if it's really worth it, but having trouble deciding because I'll likely be stuck with this computer for at least 5 years before I have funds to upgrade.
