Hello,
Well, ive been going round and round and round with regard to which machine im going to be purchasing. To spare you all the details, lol, ive had to find a couple of machines that will work for Photoshop along with our business as well. Ive been a Mac user for a long time and thought i was going to need to purchase a windows based machine, but i am going to be able to stick with Mac after all.
I have a MacBook Pro Retina and we are going to be adding an iMac to the mix. Given the following criteria, can you please give me your insight as to which machine you would recommend? Thank you very much for your time!
Here is my situation:
Im looking for an iMac for Photoshop CC and am not concerned about the screen size. The 21" would actually be a better form factor considering my work space, but a 27" would be fine as well.
I want to watch our budget but do not want to sacrifice performance if the difference between two choices is noticeable.
I rarely use two applications at once and i will be using only Photoshop with this machine most all of the time
Can you tell me if the 21" version would be your choice or would you opt for the 27"?
Which processor would you choose? Is there a noticeable difference between the i5 and i7 in Photoshop CC?
Is the limitation of 16GIG RAM something that would concern you if you could not expand to 32 for PSCC?
Are the displays comparable between the 21 and 27 in terms of brightness, color accuracy, clarity etc?
The fusion drive seem like the best option considering performance and economics. Do you agree?
Thanks again for your expertise and i hope to hear from you soon!
my best,
rick
