I've finally bailed on PC and in the weekend I paid for a iMac 27 duo. I have zero Mac experience. I keep thinking I should have bought the quad so would like your advice because I need to ring the store when they open in a few hours.
1/ The dollar difference is pretty small and I could buy either.
2/ I want what will last longer.
3/ I would use the iWorks programmes, want to create small training vids (I'd get a student in to put it together), use the net a bit and download stuff. My kids play games that tend to use a bit of memory. I'm more the simple card game if anything. So I can see the duo would do the trick. I tend to own computers till they're ready to become door stops. I would use the TV function. I also want to migrate a library of training videos to the system.
-----------------
A/ So quad or duo?
B/ I often use the numeric key pad and can't imagine being without it. Does it become second nature or am I better off with the numeric?
C/ I went without the apple extended warranty because I never buy extended warranty's believing electronic things just last. Having gone Apple for the first time - is extended necessary? do Apples have problems in the first 3 years generally?
D/ I bought the machine with iWorks and iTV(eye?). Is there any other accessory you'd recommend?
Thanks for your comments
