Hi all,
After toying around with the idea of getting an iMac I’m in two minds. I was hoping the good people of this forum could convince me that a pc can be just as good as an iMac (especially as part of the price of an iMac must be for the screen which I already have).
My budget is £700 (not set in stone). I use my computer for processing photographs. At the moment the only program I am using is Nikon Capture NX2, but I haven’t written of the idea of investing in Photoshop in the future. My current computer is woefully slow at handling the large RAW format files that come from the camera and it is a massive pain editing even just one photo.
I don’t work on large quantities of photographs as it’s just a hobby. So I don’t need massive storage and the like. I’ve been thinking of something built around the i3 processor with at least 4gb RAM, more if necessary. I’d like it to be as quiet as possible too. I have a good IPS monitor already it’d just be the base unit I’d need.
I’d been looking at a few of the scan 3xs computers but most seemed more geared towards gaming and video editing.
Thanks.
