i have the quad core i5 with 16gigs ram 27". i dont do audio or video.. so i cant talk towards the power you may need, i have a side 24"
flat panel as my second monitor and i feel the 24" now is too small..i got so used to the 27" that i cant go back even to my laptop.. but there was some getting used to since i came from laptop world..
i never had a single issue and i had it for 1 year already. the quadcore is a significant upgrade from my dual core laptop.. rendering heavy 3D files still takes forever but it isnt that endless forever as it was before. the new imacs also come with more ports in the back, and that is a good plus since you are more than likely to use them all, now you can as many ports and daisy chain more options.
the graphics card upgrade isnt so crazy for me, as the current graphics card is sick enough..
the price however.. is something nice and special compared to what i paid.. i went to the apple store website and priced out a fully maxed imac with everything i needed and the apple care.. it came to $3,887 - i payed around 3k and i dont have near what that imac has in it. so then i priced what i have exactly and it was $600 cheaper. thats a huge plus.
any upgrade in tech will always benefit you.. so go for it!!!
- plus during the winter it can heat up your room!!!at the time i couldnt afford the i7. i want it.e-pill
- i was told the i7 is better suited for programs with heavy files, like video or 3D..e-pill
