What would the software need the most?
I'm getting an iMac 27inc the most expensive would it run that stuff easy?

"Mac's" Are utter pure shit.
Unless you're only doing video editing and music producing your money is going to pure waste. Sorry for being so "blunt" with you but it's the truth.

No. i5 is better for gaming only. i7 is a bit better for gaming AND multitasking. Example: Playing BF3 "Or Anything else you like" The match is over and you just simply go on your other monitor (if you have one) and proceed with whatever you were doing. Whether it was video editing, Graphics etc...

Do yourself a favor and do not get a Mac, unless you want to waste your money. Building a PC is a much better option. If you spent the amount of money that 27 inch Mac costs on computer parts, you can build a much more powerful computer.

Also i would like to add, If and only if all you are doing are those things ( Video editing, Graphics, etc..)

Then go ahead and get your "Mac"

I personally would not get one because even if it was my Job to create graphics i would like my computer that i spent over two grand on to at least be able to play a decent game. Again it's your chocice...

What about if you want outstanding customer service.
What if you want a build quality that makes Sony Vaios feel cheap.
What if you want a premium feel and outstanding smart, yet simple designs.
What if you prefer the fact that they don't freeze half as much as windows PC's.
What if you want something that will last more than 3 years without breaking.

The list goes on, the point is that they're a premium product, and even though they are expensive - you 100% get what you pay for, if you know what you're buying. The only two models left behind are the Mac Pro and MacBook pro (excluding the retina display one).

I'm just saying, that it's not just about POWER POWER POWER, it's about everything else as well.

But will it provide the same user experience, and do you still get the extremely good build quality, knowing that it's been put together by either professionals or robots.

Macs are not a waste of money, unless you want it for things they don't provide.

You don't need customer service if you dont have a problem.
You can buy the best of the best for half the price and make it look unreal.
You can make a simple design for the price of a game
I have a pc beside me for 8 years which has never froze and I built my own and it has never froze and I also have another one which has never froze. SO it is obv how much you seem to spend. Stop buying your pc's from the charity shop.
Also only a complete idiot owns a pc for less than 3 years unless it is time for upgrade.


Dude just because you are a spastic mac fanboy who knows nothing about them.
