Right FOLKS,

Last message on this as this has been going on for a bit now.

I am still very undecided what to do.

I currently own a MBP 2.16 15" which is reaching 2.5 years old.

I have been thinking whether to get a monitor for it to do my photo work or get a iMac 24" 2.66 to do my photo work.

Choose for me folks

I can stretch to 1200... Maybe a bit more but I tend to like to spend less I can ;)

iMac.

My justification is that you're getting newer, faster hardware with a fresh warranty that's not going to go end of life any time yet. You can probably sell the old one for a reasonable sum as well providing it's in good condition.

You could run dual screens, which is good for photo type stuff...

I'm not sure how much performance you need, if your Macbook struggling at all? If it is I guess it's a good time to get something faster... If not then save yer dosh ;)
 
Hmmm Most say iMac, but I must say if I did get a iMac I still plan to keep my MBP for portability all being well.

I just need to be able to witness that the iMac will perform better than my MBP with a external.

I thought I already answered that somewhere... Newer architecture, faster BUS, faster CPU, faster memory. Of course it's going to be quicker.

Hi,

Yeah I know you answered this question but I just wish I can be able to compare to my eyes to know if it worth splashing out on a new system costing 1200. And will I see a different to my eyes doing the photo work with aperture and possible CS4.
 
Whichever one, get it calibrated.

I say iMac though, for the reasons Feek mentioned.
 
Ok so is the 2.66 good then I love get next one 1499 but strtch my budget but will the extra really be worth it knowing me prob upgrade again 2 years time
 
I don't know what to say to you any more.

You ask the question.
You get answers.
You ask the same question again :rolleyes:

Just make a decision based on what you've been told!
