My wife needs something for her photography business and wants an iMac to replace her MacBook. I'm a PC guy but she doesn't want to go that route. The 1.6ghz processor and 5400rpm hard drive make me nervous when it's an 1,100 dollar computer. I could get a ROG for cheaper that has better specs. Does anyone have experience with this model?
Why does she want to replace the macbook?
Screen size? Buy her a monitor.
She's tired of using external hard drives. Her MacBook has 250gb which isn't nearly enough.
You can switch out her HD for an SSD for much cheaper than $1100 and the difference in speed will be night and day plus obviously you can upgrade the size of it.
If she wants an iMac because she want's something new I understand but nothing you've said makes me think she NEEDS a new computer.
Use this site to shop for SSD for her macbook. I just took a guess at what model it would be but you can search by model.
