Hi all,
I'm thinking of getting my fiancee a refurb iMac to use for photo editing. Apple.ca has both an aluminum 20" and an older white 20" for $999CDN. I'm slightly leaning towards the white one, as it (I think) has a matte screen. I understand this may be better for photo editing (a contentious topic I know). Also, the fiancee thinks she likes matte better (based on using my Macbook Air vs every other LCD she's ever seen).
What do you guys think? Am I crazy? How big a difference will the video card between the model make?
Other specs, white vs aluminum:
2.16GHz C2D vs 2.0GHz C2D
667MHz FSB vs 800MHz FSB
ATI Radeon X1600 128MB vs ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128MB
