Easiest way to get iMac

nolimit · 30 Apr 2009 at 21:23

The best thing happend to me today, I got iMac "24 2.66ghz version.

Long story short, in my appraisal I asked for faster PC to do video encode and the Sales Director got me and my team (3) 24" iMac's.

Nicely done

You should now ask for a Macbook Pro as well so you can *ahem* work when you're not in the office.

Well I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

This month we got Canon 5D Mark II kit, and x3 iMac's.

Now we have to show the money was well spent until the next financial year.

I would be raging if that happened. Asked for a faster PC and got dumped with a mac.

I secretly wanted Mac but asked for faster PC as I didn't want to sound greedy in the appraisal.

You've lost me there.

Have a look at jamief's recently locked thread in Apple hardware for some inspiration.

Did you get them to edit the HD video off the 5DMK2?

So you got the Base model iMac for Video coding hmmmm I was going to get that but was told to get the next one up for the better gfx card but now I am baffled. As this base model is in my price range.

Replace 'troller' with gimp and you might get close.

Nice one mate, that shot of three in the back of a taxi made me salivate slightly. I'm not really a Mac fan but they are very nice machines.

Yeah we did and it plays 1080p perfectly and renders pretty fast. The base 24'' is good enough for editing short 2-5 min HD clips but if you plan to edit video as a primary purpose maybe higher end is more suitable.

Erm, all i did is say how I would feel in that situation hardly makes me a troll. Go back to your stroking your aluminium.

Sorry Justin, the aluminium thing was trolling, but the first bit was not.

Stop trolling.
