Hey Guys,

My Mum is after a I-Mac for her business and wants a stable, easily maintained, safe I-Mac to use for her everyday activities. These would include Facebook, Internet Browsing, Video's and Image viewing, Farmville (Yes, lol) and maintaining her website.

It also has to be ideally future proof for a good long time. Her budget is around £1,200. Any suggestions as I'm lost when it comes to I-Mac's as to what it is good and what is'nt

The lower spec 21.5" is £999. £139 for Applecare so she can phone them up and hassle them for support whenever she wants, they'll pick it up if it breaks, and 3 year warranty, and change.

Or she could get the £1249 one but to be honest she probably wouldn't feel the difference. I'd go first option.

Also, iMac.

As PTW says, the base iMac should be perfectly fine for what she needs it for. I have the earlier iMac with the C2D and 9400 NVIDIA graphics and it would be perfect for what your mum is looking for. You could also get from the refurbish store if you're looking to save even more money. I got both my iMac and MBP from the refurb store and used the money I saved to get AppleCare.

Thanks for the info guys,

Web-browsing, Farmville, and running a website online don't really need that much raw power so your probably right at not going for a topspec system and getting Applecare along with it.

Thanks
